There are two accepted forms for possessive singular nouns ending in s:
Add an apostrophe (') after the existing s at the end of the word: Father Jess'
Add an apostrophe s ('s) after the existing s at the end of the word: Father Jess's
Examples:
We're planning a party for Father Jess' birthday.
We're planning a party for Father Jess's birthday.

Yes, the correct usage would be "father-in-law's" with an apostrophe to indicate possession or a relationship belonging to the father-in-law. For example, "my father-in-law's car" would refer to the car that belongs to your father-in-law.
