it all started after my husband told her to keep one of her daughters out of our business & not to enter our yard while no one was home, my neighbour said her daughter used to wait till we were out & she would come into our yard & kick our dog so we told her to mind her own business & stay the hell away.

move. sorry I didn't completely read your question the first time, missed the part about not moving not being an option.
all you can do is look through her, ignore her like nobodies business, eventually she will tire of her antics, when she realizes she not getting a rise out of you.

If moving isn't an option, try investing in a privacy fence (a very tall Fence to keep annoying neighbors from being rude or peeping. You say they kick your dog, make sure you get a deadbolt for the fence gate, or make the only entrance to the back yard accessible through your back door. In other words, make no openings into the privacy fence so they can't pick a lock to get in. I cant believe your local authorities are doing nothing. That right there is against the law. You need to call the chief of police and insist on some actions, or tell them you will have to go to the next level and sue the police district for failure to provide protection, etc. Try to ignore them the best you can. Good luck.

I had a noisy neighbour about 6 months but they've since sold their house and bought another house two blocks away!!
They had a chicken coop with about 25 chooks and one rooster in it in their backyard. Yes, in a suburban area!! Not rural or farming or even anywhere similar!! Anyway, that damn rooster kept me up at all hours during the night. It used to just break into song, cock-a-doodling, all the time!! No let up, probably 6 - 7 times each hour!! I hardly got any sleep ever and was getting really tired and run down. Not a good situation with 5 children to look after and a husband. I asked her politely if there was anything she could do about it and she feigned surprise, saying she never even heard it!! As if!! She had 5 children also and they all used to chat across the fence. Her oldest boy was about 14 and started taking every opportunity he could to jump the dividing fence and come and collect wayward chickens. He would even poke his over the fence for a chat if he saw me doing washing or whatever in the yard. Mrs neighbour didn't like that one tiny little bit and used to yell at him to come inside immediately!! Then the penny dropped, I realised the perfect way to get her to do something about the insomniac rooster. Since we live in a tropical, humid and very place, I reasoned that walking around my house, backyard, frontyard, collecting mail etc. shouldn't be a problem with just a bikini top and itsy bitsy shorts on??? OH NO!! I swear the veins in her neck nearly burst the first time she saw me!! I didn't see her outside after that and needless to say, all of a sudden the house went up for sale and the chooks and rooster carted away!!! BTW, I'm not overweight or anything, she was just a devout catholic and I probably just made her run for her life.
Point I'm trying to make is, sorry it was so long winded, that you need to find these people's Achille's heel??? Everybody has a weak spot. Sounds like your neighbours are a bit on the wild and feral side so how about starting up the lawnmower at say 7.00 a.m. on a Saturday morning when they'll probably be sleeping off last night's hangover???? Do it as early as your local council allows. I think you'll find 7.00 a.m. is about the right time. Gardeners and maintenance men have to start work at some stage don't they?? When they start hurling abuse at you for making so much noise simply say,
"Is that too much noise for you is it?? Well, how about you back off and let me live my life in peace and comfort and I might do you the same favor. Otherwise, neighbour, you better get used to it!!!"
Please note, people who terrorise others, victimise, bully are usually transposing feelings of self worth, unhappiness onto their victim. They're usually pretty harmless when confronted and just bluffing. Call their bluff girl, you know I'm right. Stand up for yourself, you don't have tolerance their ignorance one second longer.
PEACE & GOOD HEALTH

If you ignore her and not let her see that she is getting to you, eventually she will give up because she will realize that it will do her no good. You have to be the bigger person and not do anything to her. If it is still going on maybe you or your husband needs to go to the judge instead of the police because the judge has more power than the police but the bad part of that is if they don't find her guilty then she will know that it does get under your skin and she will get even worse. You just need to stick it out and eventually will find somebody else to aggravate.

Ever heard of Nannycam? Make sure its high enough, or get more than one, to cover all of your yard, then check the recordings every night. Go to another town to get the camera(s), they have them in temperature gages and clocks, you can get them rather small now. Post your yard, no trespassing, and make sure the signs get in the shots. Cozy cozy is one thing, but taped evidence is another. Also talk to other neighbors, a pattern like this isn't often only with one neighbor. Also, if you get the trespass ans all on tape, and her boyfriend disregards your evidence there's always civil or criminal court. Let him tell the Judge he favored your neighbor because he was having a relationship with her.

Its not right you should have to move they are the ones with the problem. Unfortunately you need evidence to press charges. Keep a written diary and if possible put a camera in a window in your property to try to catch this on film. This way you have evidence to take to the police, they will have to do something then. This is harrassment.

That is sad and if she has an x police officer there it goes you can't do too much. I know that is polticis and you can't do much. just keep making police report and stay out of her way. that is only thing you can do actually just keep everything of yours away and fense your yard front and back i know you must have ot get permission to fense in front but it can be done and that will prevent some thigns from happening. good lucky

Do you know someone who works for a laywer. How about getting a lawyer to write her a nice little letter. Maybe this might be the wake up call she needs to stop harrassing you. If worse come to worse fill charges against her. Best of luck.

What I would do is try to avoid her and leave out the back door and stay out of her veiw. You also could try to talk to her other family members, other the the ex cop husband. she sounds like a nut case ! Why does the neighbor lady hate you so much? did you do anything to cause this discontentment?

Is there anyway you can ignore her and her family. For the dog, sprinkle some crushed red pepper where he likes to relieve himself. May be the whole family needs a good *** kicking, when all else fails. (not a recommendation but a good thought)
