All names have been changed.
Names used for clarity.
Luke is my teen
Fred is Luke's good friend
Claire is Fred's mum
Dave is Fred's dad
I had a minor argument with Luke. Nothing drastic, just typical teen laziness, teen knows everything, mum cant be right ever!
Luke decided to stand on his own 2 feet for a bit and went to stay with fred. Fred still lives with his parents, but has the loft converted to a mini flat.
Fred often has friends over to play xbox or whatever.
Luke stayed with fred for a few weeks, including xmas.
Claire and dave took out a contract phone for luke. This was his xmas present from them.
Luke was given the phone and has been using it.
Luke then had a falling out with claire.
Nothing major. Just teen laziness and teens know everything .
He came back home. All good. Lessons learned all round.
But he has left loads of stuff in Fred's flat.
Including his original phone and the new phone given to him by Clare and dave.
Obviously claire has to pay for this phone or it will affect her credit score.
But who actually owns the new phone?
Claire and dave are (I assume) paying for it for the next 2 years, maybe 3?
But they got it for, and gave it to, Luke.
Hope that's not an essay. Nothing important missing. Making sense.
