I am a 23 year Air Force veteran. While I was deployed for operation ENDURING FREEDOM my brother in law was watching my kids while my wife was at work. My daughter was drawing on the sidewalk with "sidewalk chalk" and drew on my neighbors driveway. My neighbor got very upset when she saw the chalk marks on her driveway and went over and told my brother in law she wanted it removed right away. He took my pressure washer an cleaned the marks off the driveway. while doing so he made marks on the driveway. Now my neighbor is taking me to court for $5000.00 to have her whole driveway replaced. Where do I stand with this. are there any laws about a 5 yr old child unwillfully damaging property. I also got an appraisal to have the driveway repaired for about $200.00. can someone tell me where I stand here?
