Legal Question in Administrative Law in Georgia
I have graduated Last year and had got graduation money and any money I had made doing odd jobs around the neighborhood , from friends and family. My mother had taken it from possession It was almost $1000 total, She also filed me on her taxes when I don't live there anymore. I moved in august, I gave her until taxes to pay me back and was wondering if i could press charges for theft?

You can try. Do you really believe that is a good idea? Do you want to cause a family fight for years to come? How much did your mother (or parents) pay for your living expenses? That is not to say it is right that anyone took your money, but you'll find out in life that things happen and you try to resolve them with the other person.
I'll add that trying to press charges won't likely go anywhere. The police and DA generally know that these are family squabbles and not criminal issues.
