Chillicothe, OH asked in Real Estate Law and Appeals / Appellate Law for Ohio

Q: I had a judgement made that I want to dispute. Can I do anything and if so what?

I had a judgement in Ohio in 2016 for an easement allowing a group of individuals access to their property that they had previously land locked themselves from. I never agreed to an easement and they are now causing damage to my drinking water. Is there anything that I can do? How long do I have to dispute or appeal this easement?

A: You can file an appeal from a trial court's order within thirty (30) days. The better way to approach this may be to sue to have the easement vacated or to sue for damages caused by an enlargement of the easement.
