Legal Question in Mediation in California
I'm 20 living with my Mother for the next 2-3 months. She will be moving out soon and I will be taking over the payments on the house. She doesn't like the items in my room and stated she wanted me to get rid of them. I told her no. She then said she would box them up and get rid of them herself. These items were all bought/given to me. None of them were paid by her. Is this legal? What steps, legally, can I make against her if she does in fact, get rid of them withought my knowledge?

It appears from the information you provided that this is your mother's house and she has control over it's contents. If you are paying rent for living on the premises then you would have control over the contents of the part covered by the rental agreement. You are both adults. If she takes your property and disposes of it you could sue her for conversion of your private property assuming you could identify the property and establish its value. If the property is contraband you may not be able to recover for its loss.
