Neighbor blocking shared sidewalk to property

[SJMVarner]

Hi all!

I need some advice. My neighbor is consistantly parking his vehicle on our shared sidewalk to prevent access to my gate which leads to my home. He does this while there are no vehicle in his driveway or his yard. His specific intention is to prevent us from using the sidewalk because he wants to rip it out so we can't go in the gate at all.

This neighbor has been to court with us and lost twice. The District Justice told us to continue monitoring our yard with video survallience because this neighbor continuoously throws trash in our yard, harasses us, and destroys our property and vehicles. He is now encouraging his teenage son and his friends to do the same because they are under 18 and we can't do anything about it. We have called the police several times, but they continue to say it's a domestic matter and they won't get involved. Can anybody help me? I have a 4 year old epileptic special needs child and our parking is in the rear. If I can't get out my gate to get my son to the hospital, or if the ambulance can't get in the gate to help him...I don't know what I'll do. Please help!!

It might be costly, and it be Canberra an inconvenience, but if it were me I'd move the gate and driveway.

Or, I'd consider moving to another home.

There is a far more sinister dynamic here than you reveal.

You may not know it, but it is there.

There always is, in these neighbor squabbles.

These situations are like infections, they only fester and grow worse if left untreated.

People's feelings and emotions overpower their sensibilities and common sense.

I've observed this most of the time I've practiced law.

No one wants to give or bend, and compromise never enters the picture, until someone explodes.

Gunshots sound, fights erupt, curse words are shouted, violence abounds; then it's too late!!!

The guy is unreasonable.

You don't have to be that way.

I understand your problem, he enjoys making you hurt.

Being right, doesn't mean you win.

You've discovered that conundrum.

He won't budge, you're right, but why not find a solution?

None of this helps you help your child.

Move away, or move your gate!
