I'm 18 & live w/ my mom.She has decided to punish me for not washing the dishes by taking away my cell phone. I pay the bill & have always payed the bill.I feel like she has no right to take away my phone. I was thinking that I should report it as stolen.

If the phone isn't in your name, you don't own it- your daddy does.

You live under your parents roof, the phone is under your dads name, they have the right to take it away, you should honor your parents, go apologize, and do the dishes, if your nice about it, she'll probelly give it back, all she wants you to do is wash the dishes, when you don't do that how else are they going to punish you? ground you from TV?? life is much easier if you listen to your parents, if your living under there roof, it's there rules, don't like it move out, also what you should do is when you get the phone back, get it under your name, but go do the dishes,

I guess it really depends on what kind of relationshp you have with your mother. My mother and I always argued when I was that age but we were still close and could never imagine calling the cops on her! You are 18 and allowed to decide for yourself now, but since you are under her roof and have her rules to follow, you should grin and bear it until you keep up your end of the bargain and keep your right to still live under her roof now that you are an adult.

Even though you're 18, if you're still living under your mother's roof, she has the right to set the rules, and provide punishments if those rules are not followed.

Unless you are your father, you can't report it as stolen. Because she is married to your father and because most companies/bill collector's consider one spouses name to be just as good as the other, the phone is hers and your fathers. Not yours.
Is doing the dishes really that hard?

well if you are speaking legally no... you dad would have to take it away or have it shut off.....
but really your 18 years old living with your mom... what are you doing do you go to school?... why didnt you just do the dishes
maybe your mother is just at the end of her rope with you and doesnt know what to do.....?

I think your an adult. Get out on your own, and stand up for yourself. Have your dad turn that one off, and make her pay the early termination fee.
