Sheesh! How about a handshake!
This agreement outlines the terms of cost sharing for the new fence between neighbors. Both parties agree to split the expenses equally, including materials, labor, and any additional costs. A payment schedule and deadline for reimbursement should be included in the agreement to ensure clarity and accountability. Both parties should sign and retain a copy of the agreement for reference.
A common fence is a shared boundary structure between two neighboring properties. It is typically built and maintained by both property owners to provide mutual benefit and to mark the separation of their land.
No, the neighbor cannot unilaterally remove the fence dividing the properties without your consent. Proper procedures and legal requirements need to be followed when making changes to the property boundaries, especially when it involves livestock containment and safety. It's best to discuss any concerns or potential solutions with your neighbor to come to a mutual agreement.
If a neighbor wanted to install a fence the fence has to be on the neighbors property entirely. Not half the fence on your side and half on the neighbors side. There are also zoning regulations that deal with issues like this. Some counties will not allow a fence to be over five feet tall and they have to be constructed using only approved materials. I know that in my neighborhood metal fences are against code and they can only be constructed using fence block. If I were you I would call the city planning office and ask them, they will have a definitive answer. Who knows, maybe the fence was put up without the proper permits and your neighbor has to take the entire thing down.
The neighbor operating the weed eater is likely liable for the dog's injury, as they were actively engaged in a potentially dangerous activity near the boundary line with the fence. The dog's owner may also be partially responsible for not ensuring that their dog did not extend its paw through the fence. A determination of liability would depend on the specific circumstances and local laws.

My neighbor would like to remove the fence that we share in our backyard. Is he allowed to remove the neighboring fence without my approval?
Ask your neighbors if they care.
As long as the fence is on your property, no.
The saying implies that with a fence between neighbors you can each maintain your privacy. When people become complacent about their neighbors privacy or wishes then ill feelings can occur. If your neighbor has the run of your yard there is always the chance that they might do something against your wishes. This does not imply that they are going to irritate you on purpose but there is the chance. A fence between the properties will eliminate the chance that they may trespass into something that you do not want to share. This is also not just about a physical fence. It also means that your neighbors should not have free run of the knowledge of your lives and what goes on in your household. There has to be boundries in all relationships which would constitute a fence. In regard to the actual fence it should be low enough to allow communication between the neighbors while keeping some things out. The same applies to the personal fence. Do not build a stone wall between each other that allows for no communication.

Yes, if they own the fence.
My parents went through this a few years ago. Nobody does. It's usually the party who wants the fence repaired/replaced. My parents were fine with the old fence and told our neighbors "No" they will not help with the cost. Neighbors could do nothing about it. They replaced the fence anyways.
The Torkelsons - 1991 Fence Neighbors 1-1 was released on: USA: 21 September 1991
generally speaking, yes if it's on the separating line between you and your neighbors, definitely yes
ask if he's ok with it, move the fence back, etc
The fence cannot be outside your property line.
I was raised to the fact that the owner of the fence is to mend the fence but good neighbors would often chip in with work or meterials
