Not to my knowledge. It will make your phone no longer show up for her under find my iPhone, and it will no longer be available for quick support.

Anything already downloaded to your device will continue to work. Now, if you sign out of the App Store, you cannot download new apps.

Being removed from her cellular account will not affect your music, photos, apps, and other other documents. You will simply have to open your own account with the cellular carrier in order to use the phone outside of a Wi-Fi connection.

You will not be able to share her music or apps. You will have to create your own Apple ID if you haven't.

Is it a back up of your phone on your Mother's iCloud account? If so, you won't lose anything except that back up. You will need your own iCloud account and back up your phone on it or iTunes.
