Thanks for the response.

Her paying for half of the maint. is what the prior owner of our house had told us. She is now saying that she doesn't have to pay for anything.

It would make sense for her to help with the costs since we recently moved in and no one was living at our house 3 years before us. But the easement document that was included with our deed did not specify.

I'll have to see what I find out from a lawyer.

There was also an incident during the Summer were a vehicle was parked in the driveway (in a section not covered by the easement) and was blocking our usage of it. We could not get out of our own driveway, and when we asked her to please move the car so we could pass she again yelled at us stating that she had legal right to use the drive whenever/however she wanted.

Yet, most ROW (or all?) are intended to be used for passage not parking right?
