    Can my mom press charges on me for not giving her my phone when my dad bought it
    My mom got mad at me, so she wanted to take away my phone. It was a dumb reson. I wouldn't let her have it, so she called the police and she said they said she can press charges on me. Can she? It's my phone my dad bought me. I live with my mom. The phone is in his name.

    The phone is in your father's name, and he pays the monthly bill as well, right? Then no, she can't "press charges" against you not giving it to her. But she can make your life miserable in other ways, and will find other ways to get back at you, so my advice is to cool it on whatever it is that got her so mad at you in the first place. If she does end up taking the phone, you should let your father know so that he can cancel the contract.
