First off I want to make note I am a minor currently the age of 15 years old. So with that I recently purchased an iPhone 4s with my own money. I did use my phone under my mothers contract with Verizon but the phone was and is mine. One day my mom takes my phone because I missed one day of practice for crew. She has told me that I will not be getting it back and that it is hers. She has now told me she is selling it and knowing her I bet she probably will. What can I do? Do I have any claim towards this I know I am a minor but she did take my property that I bought with my own money.

Oh well. Guess you'll do what you're supposed to do next time. :cool:

So, you signed the contract to purchase the phone?


It's not your phone but even if it was, your mother has the right to not allow you to use, or even own a phone. Ask her for the money once she sells the thing.
