OK I'm 14, live with my dad only, and not doing well in school so then my mom decides to show up, (she lives at her house) and take some of my things away that are high in value. Is it ok for her to do that? Seeing that she didnt buy it, its all of my property. Also is ther a certain age when she cant get involved with my school and such, also if you have any answers about this please link a page of these laws or rights or whatever so I can print them out. This may sound a little strange but I dont want to get too persnol here, its a bad situation, so just focus on the question. Any extra information would be helpful too, and dont forget to prove your information. Thanks people! If you any have other questions just post them and I will try to answer them. Remember this is quite urgent. Thanks.

Her rights are limited only if your father has legal custody.
Your property is yours, and no one really has a right to take it from you. Unless it's violating some law or it's against some rules that have been set for you.
Really, I wish I knew a few more details in order to answer you better. I'd like to suggest that you repost your query w/more details and post it under the legal category. There may be a lawyer online that can help....list the state you're in.....laws vary from state to state.
Good luck hon. I hope things improve for you.....

You would have to have your Dad check the divorce papers to know what her legal rights are, if they discussed them. If they didn't or they have joint custody with your Dad having physical custody your Mom can check on your school progress and have say in your discipline until your 18, if you graduate by your 18th birthday, otherwise until you graduate high school. Plus the state you live in makes a difference. Some states recognize things that others don't. This isn't something you can find on a web site, this is from my own personal experience.

your mom has a legal right to be involved in your schooling until you are 18 unless her parental rights are taken away.
if you are doing poorly in school and your parents temporarily confiscate property that is distracting you from doing your work -- that is a common parenting technique and not illegal at all.
if your dad is your custodial parent and he agrees with what your mom did (I'm guessing that she had a key or that he let her in), then you don't have anything you can do but get your grades up.
BUT, if your mom took your things to sell, because she has problems of her own -- if she stole them from you -- and she broke into the house to do it, then get your dad's help in filing a complaint -- laws are different depending on where you live.. check with the local police

If she has been declared non-custodial by the courts, then she has no rights to your school information and going to your house is breaking and entering. Call the police on her like you would any criminal. Also make sure the school knows she's non custodial.

It is not legal for her to take your personal possessions, especially if she doesn't live with you.
Call her and tell her to return them or you'll report the theft to the police. Follow through if she doesn't return them.
Sorry you're having such a rough time.
