Im 17 years and 9 months old. I was sneaking around and my mom found out and as punishment she took my car and gave it to my brother to keep. Is this legal for her to do or no?
Hey ****! In Arizona, since you're a minor, your parents generally have the right to control your property and make disciplinary decisions. If the car is under your mom's name or if she bought it for you, she can decide what to do with it.
I bought the car and it is registered, titled, and insured in my name
If the car is registered, titled, and insured in your name, you generally have the legal rights to it. However, as a minor, parental authority can still play a role in certain decisions. It might be helpful to discuss your situation with your mom to understand her perspective. Would you like information on how to approach this conversation legally?
