How Can I Determine Who Has Authority of an Easement?
My Easement runs along my entire North Property Line where 1 of the subdivision road is now, which I utilize until the road takes a hard right and I go straight onto my easement (which we have solely maintained since 1978) down to my property to access my driveway/property, at the end on the left (straight ahead is the Corps Property/Lake). The problem is the relatively new neighbor (2001). Over the last 7 years, he rarely came up and if he did was not a nuisance but over the last 6 months or so, has come up more often and utilizing my Easement. I tried to politely explain that the Easement is not for parking and to utilize his property only; however, he got belligerent and insisted that I had no authority to tell him were to park or not and that he’d soon own it!!! Short of a Civil Suit, who has the Authority to tell him he can’t park on it???

Is it Possible to Withdraw From Having an Easement?
Currently, the only people who use the easement are neighborhood children, many of whom ride their bicycles (and on one occasion, a gasoline-powered motorized scooter) through our front yard, past our house, through the backyard, and into the trees beyond. Our lawn is suffering serious damage because of this. Is it possible to vacate the pedestrian easement, and if so, how?
