My wife bought a home about a year ago. The sellers as a requirement ask that we accept to an easement with adjacent property that was also on sale pending. They presented us with a plot map and after reviewing the map we agreed. As part of the sale they also ask that we use an specific escrow company.

A few months in we talk to our new neighbors about fencing the property and encroachment easement. They showed us the same plot map we got form the sellers and that is on escrow record. However they spotted a discrepancy in the description of the easement. In the description they would get a few more feet in their favor. They also stated that the sellers had promised them more then the plot map showed.

Since then we filled a claim with escrow company (they represent but us and the neighbors) . At first they sided with them because the "engineer" that did the plot map and legal description said he turn in the wrong paper work to escrow. They showed us a plot map that had a bigger encroachment easement (in favor of other party) and it did not even match the legal description on record.

Currently escrow keeps telling us that they are not even sure if this is covered in our policy.

My questions are is escrow liable for not checking this before selling us the property. They represented both our neighbors and us during the transaction. We feel since we closed escrow first and that the encroachment easement presented to us by the sellers is the same one on record that should be the "correct one".

Any advice would be much appreciated

striking prior cases

How can the courts bring up an old offense and turn it into a strike and add it on to a new case? Is this legal?

I am the father of a soon to be off to college 17yo young woman. I gained full custody in 1999 and the mother had the usual visitation rights. The mother has never contributed a red cent in all those years to any expenses (food,housing,parochial school,etc). I never did file for child support after the custody hearing so my question is can I file now , and if so can I seek any back dated support? College is right around the corner and she flat out has told me she won't help at all. Thank you for your time.
