Answer 1

The contract is not legal because you are still a minor.  It's sad that she wants to take you to court, however, if she insists, she doesn't have a case.  Even if she co-signed, you are still on the right side of the law as you aren't using the service.

Stop paying.  I hope things can be worked out peacefully.

Answer 2

If you watch the news, all of these cell phone leases are illegal.

Let your mom know she's totally lost it.   If she has the phone, tell her to pay the bill herself.

I have 4 kids.  I wouldn't expect them to pay for something I had and they don't.

Answer 3

guess mom wants the judge to settle it.....

better get a hole in your wallet for a while.

Answer 4

No, I don't, but I understand why she is doing all of this.  She is mad, because you are not listening to her, and she is scared for you.

See, this is the thing.  She cares about you.  She has cared about you since the first time she had saw you come into this world.  She probably even held you so tight to her chest that nobody could hold you until you got strong enough be in the hands of others.  Take her caringness and her willingness to make you responsible as a gift.  Care about your mother and tell you are sorry for what you have done.  Pay your cellphone bill and realize that this boyfriend of yours is really nice for taking you in, but that your mother is the person that has always taken care of you ever since the day you had come into this world and that you kind of owe her to care about what she says. Raising a little person isn't easy for an American parent.  There is no code for raising kids like their are in other cultures or countries where it is easy to raise kids and things are the way they are for every single parent.  American parents actually have to think about what they are doing and think very hard.  It's not a drilled in drilled way of acting, like it is for Asian countries or other cultures.  It is hard.  Praise her for doing it all on her own with the help of maybe one person, not assigned people, like in other cultures with the day-in, day-out, same old routine for thousands of years.  It is more than a full-time job for American parents.  Praise her for being one, instead of many, that has raised you. She did a good job with you.  Realize this and ask her what is up and how you both can mend things back together.  She's amazing.  The world is big and wide, and she raised you in concert with morality, without someone else's brain and made you work in this society in concert with everybody else.  Praise her and love her.  Let her know how good she did and stop all this bickering.  

Answer 5

All depends on your age.  If you are old enough to sign a contract, then yes, you're stuck paying for it.  You might want to contact the cell phone service provider and see if you can terminate the contract, they can't charge you termination fees anymore so you might do better financially without the phone for awhile.

If you want to get your things out of the house and your mom is totally hostile, you might want to ask a relative or even a police officer if they could accompany you on a visit back to the house to get your things.

Maybe while you're there you can try talking to your mom a little, see if you can make some inroads towards working things out...
