We also had our land surveyed and she remives our stakes thats on her side. She claims that our fence is on her land but, came to find out that its not and our land actuallu extends out more.

A: If the limbs crossed over into your neighbors property she can likely cut them as long as it doesn't kill the tree. Your best bet is to consult with a local attorney and start costing her money as well. Usually after getting spanked in the wallet a couple of times, neighbors start keeping to themselves and minding their own business.
