Litigation

We moved into a property in which our neighbor uses an easement driveway as the sole access to his home. This neighbor introduced himself by letting us know that he had been granted use of the irrigation water to our property by the 90+ year old farmer who lived there before us and he intended to continue to do so. We paid $160,000 for the 32 shares of water that were sold with the property, brought livestock and let him know right away that this would not be continued unless we were able to work out some appropriate plan in the event we had more than needed. Since the start this neighbor has been hostile, calling the local police to our home many many times over petty things that the police apologize to us about having to take both of our time and energy on. We had to request that they not shoot into our pastures and they have mostly honored this. They built a new fence across our main line and then added an entry of metal posts that are supported 6-8 feet onto our side of the line. We asked them to remove the crossover and they say that this is needed to keep the fence up. The previous fence was quite adequate but they wanted something more decorative. The easement they continue to use has been a big issue because it has left us unable to access the acreage on its other side for our animals. There is a seasonal pond and great spring and fall grassland there that we have not been able to access. These neighbors drive up and down on their dirt bikes and stop to ensure we see them looking our way and pointing at things on our land. They leave two large trash bins at the end of the easement on our road 24/7 and deliver a bag of trash there often. These are now getting bear attention and despite neighbors warning each other that we have visitor, they have not changed their habits.See answer

Family Law

My fiancé and I want to buy a house 1-2 months before the wedding because that's how the timeline has worked out. I have enough money for a 20% down-payment and closing costs, but he only has an emergency savings and no money to contribute outside of half the monthly mortgage payment and bills. We need both of our incomes to qualify for the type of home we want. How can I protect myself if we ended up divorcing later so I don't lose money?See answer
