Both our fences were knocked down, and while one neighbor split the cost the other neighbor stated that he would only pay 1/4 of the cost. Well we fixed the fence with the one neighbor but just propped up the other fence with the disputed neighbor(the one who only wanted to pay 1/4). Two days ago the fence blew down again and the neighbor stated that he would only put up 1/4 the cost. The fence is on his side of the property line, but falls on our side when it falls, What are my options?

If you have a home owner's association, explain the issue with them first. HOA's have a great deal of power and can sue the offending party if there is a violation of a deed restriction or a HOA covenant. If no HOA, then you other option is to replace the fence and bring an action in small claims court for reimbursement. It is a comon fence and both parties are obligated to maintain it.
