Walk It Through: The Small Claim for the Fence

A neighbor who will not pay for a shared fence, an affidavit in circuit court, a hearing date, and a judgment to collect.

A neighbor agreed to split a new fence and will not pay their share.

Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.

A neighbor dispute under the small claims limit. A boundary dispute over title to land belongs in a different court process.

A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
