WELL IN 96' MY HUSBAND PUT A PHONE IN HIS MOMS HOUSE FOR HER. (B4 WE WERE MARRIED) AND NOW COLLECTION AGENCYS ARE CALLING FOR PAYMENT. SHE SAID SHE PAYED IT AND WHEN I CALLED IT STILL HADN'T BEEN PAID. HOW CAN WE REMOVE HIS NAME, AND IS HE LIABLE IF WE'RE IN CALIFORNIA, AND HAD NO WAY OF KNOWING THE ACCOUNT WAS IN BAD STANDING?

Not a good idea because if it is in your name and you do not live there, you are still liable for the bills accrued on the account.

Yes. Placing a phone line at a location does not imply that you live there. However, the consequences of placing a phone line at a location without paying for it to be a non-published number are that a phone book listing will be generated with your name and the address at which the number is located.
There is no legal implication that you are declaring that location to be your residence, and so there is nothing illegal about placing a phone in your name at another location.

Yes.
Being a homeowner of a previous investment property, my name was on the account for both the phone and gas bills and I resided elsewhere.

Yes it is legal but just make sure the phone bill gets paid.

It's legal so long as the bill is being sent directly to you at your residence.

You can have a phone put in anyplace you want (or owner will let you) as long as you pay the bill
