How to unshare a shared driveway

[HomeGuru]

Ok, good luck. It appears the case is now closed.

Case is under advisement as of Case Net today. I wouldn't put too much into the other side being asked to present proposed findings. If he finds in OP's favor, it would essentially be status quo - fence stays up, etc.

the wait begins, again

Hi Gang,
My attorney just emailed me and said he was able to get my case back on the docket for 3/23. So will give an update after that happens.

Thanks Woody,

You Aint gonna Believe this !!!!!

Hi Gang,

It is with a severe contempt for the justice system that I'm here to report that
Judge William L. Syler, Div I
Common Pleas Courthouse
44 North Lorimore Suite 2
Cape Girardeau Missouri 63701
Has ruled against us. He still has not cited any conclusion of law. Just said it is now a shared driveway that the plaintiff can use for ingress and egress. We have to start parking in the street now.
I fell a dangerous precedent has been set today. Someone can take your property for there own use and not have to pay you for it or pay for any maintenance on it either.
Thinking about appealing but the old fund bucket is getting low.
My respect for the legal system is at a all time low.

Woody,

Bummer. I'm surprised given the description you gave. The good thing is appeals are relatively cheap.

Better for you that he gave no reasoning rather than strong reasoning.

Woody,

**A: sounds like it is tantamount to a legal taking. Another rip off.

Wow, read this whole thing and while interesting it is also sad to see that a court can do something like this.

Did you have to take down the fence during the appeal?

 

[TinkerBelleLuvr]

Thanks for the periodic updates. It helps when folks ask these types of questions exactly HOW long it might take the wheels of justice to turn.

I'm sorry that it's having to go to appeals though.

Yes the fence is down and the neighbor is using our driveway.

What does your new attorney think about the judge's decision??
How long is your appeal going to take??
