Q: If my parents are separated and one parent gets me a phone can the other parent take it without reason
Mom and dad separated dad bought me a phone can mom take it whenever she feels like it
A: If there are disagreements or conflicts over the phone or other property, it's best for your parents to try to resolve the issue amicably through communication or mediation.
A:
The ownership and control of the phone may depend on the specific details of the custody arrangement and any court orders in place. Generally, if one parent purchased the phone for you, they may have the right to decide how it is used and whether it can be taken away. However, if there is a custody or visitation order in place that addresses electronic devices, it is essential to follow those terms. If there are disagreements between the parents, it may be necessary to seek legal advice or mediation to resolve the issue.
