QUESTION
Can a parental figure confiscate my phone even though I bought it and pay all monthly charges for it?
Asked on Mar 06th, 2014 on Family Law - Michigan
More details to this question:
My parents assume that because I live with them, they can do as they please with my possessions. However, I bought my own phone and pay all monthly bills for it, along with any school bills. I have or related (such as band, school lunches or FFA). Are they legally allowed to take my phone without my permission even though it is solely under my name?

If you're a child, yes they can do what they feel is in your best interest. If you're an adult in their household, you can move out if you don't like their rules.

If you are under 18 yes, over 18 no. Push this only if you are ready to move and be truly independent and liberated.
