What to do about my neighbor and the property line.?
My neighbors are awful. They used to be my landlords, spent their $ on meth, & didn’t pay their contract for deed. Land owner repossessed our portion & sold it to us last Wed. Neighbors disputed the property line between us, so I paid for a surveyor. The surveyor put the pin 10′ into their driveway. Neighbor called the sheriff. I informed the sheriff that I did everything right, & I was putting up a fence asap. Neighbor would have to take me to court & prove my surveyor wrong according to the land office. Cop agreed.
These are nasty individuals. I frequently bring in my 6 year old because of the "f" word neighbor screams so much at his own kids. He is known to be a thief, and has 2 pending criminal cases in Superior Ct. I am putting up a fence to keep him out. Local ordinances say you can’t put a fence within 25′ of where the drive meets the road. I’m afraid if I don’t put something near the pin, it will disappear. Should I put in a 3′ tall post and run a string along line? Any ideas

I don’t think you putting a post in is going to make anything any more official. The land is set and your neighbor can move that pin til kingdom come, but it’s not going to change where his property ends and yours begins.
If, at any time, you find he has moved it, I would contact a local official and notify them of it.
As for your neighbor’s behavior, I would start contacting law enforcement whenever they begin to verbally assault you. It’s unlawful and should be dealt with accordingly. It’s not necessary for you or your children to have to deal with that kind of garbage, let law enforcement handle it.
As for your fence, ensure that you meet all local codes and stay on your property and build away. If they destroy it, take them to court.
In everything you do- stay within the boundaries of the law and you will be ok.
