Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Thank you Anthony Roach & Mr. Whipple. I can't figure out how to attach 4 photos! I climbed a ladder & tried to show how the cyclone fence on my neighbor's side is parallel to the wood fence on my side. I cannot afford a surveyor either, but that is likely the best eventual course, to ensure the correct property line & whether the wood fence is a "boundary" fence. I tried to discuss it with the neighbor Monday evening, however, she is still having the "fence co." out to give an estimate. I intend to repair the center section of the fence and replace the post. When I went to check it Monday & take the photos, it appears someone from the neighbor's side has intentionally tried to push the fence down. A section in the center, where I will repair it, has been pushed over somewhat. It was never like that until now. Short of a survey, if we both have existing fences, does that mean we each maintain our own, or am I responsible to pay for 1/2 of a new fence? I didn't think the law could force me to replace it all if I can repair the bad section. I also didn't think the law would force me to accept a company and their cost estimate just because it's the company my neighbor wants to use. Any additional advice?

Lawguru does not allow the public to attach photos to questions. If you want, you can send follow up questions to either myself or Mr. Whipple via private emails. Both of the email addresses are listed with our profiles.
