Shared Driveway Issue, 打算告上法庭，新问题请教

单身老猫以及各位朋友，

以下是我的旧帖的链接：

下面是事情的发展：
与我们有争议的邻居 C后来也请来律师，回复了我们的律师信。信中自然是坚持他们有权停车在shared driveway的属于我家产权的这一边，理由是easement只限制了我们家不许停车在那里，并没有限制C不准停车的语句。这是事实。但是因为easement 也并没有说C （以及另一家处于相同位置的B）可以停车，而那一部分地也确实属于我们家的产权，我们认为我们有权不让他们停车在我们家这一边（对于他们停车在属于他们家产权那一边的shared driveway我们没有异议）。

因为C坚决不肯让步，我们决定起诉C。下面是我们律师的回信：

“After reading your response I looked in to the particulars for filing a lawsuit.

In doing so I reread the Declaration with a view towards filing a suit.

The Declaration concerns all four (4) units. So even though your dispute is only with C an outcome of a lawsuit to declare the terms of the declaration would affect the interests of the owners of the other units. Therefore, those owners would be "necessary parties" to the lawsuit.

This means they would need to be sued also. This increases the fees somewhat for filing. The court fees will remain the same approximately $450). The legal fees are increased to the extent of drafting to include their interests (about $1000 total), really very negligible, and also the cost of service on two more defendants, about $100 apiece ($300 total).

As the suit progresses dealing with three attorneys will be more expensive. However, the other owners don't have to fight the suit and may accept the outcome as the only issue is the declaration of whether the easement grant includes the right of parking in that space. I don't imagine the other owner, in the position of C would want to accept that. I know the developer will not want to.

Depending on the defense it could take from six (6) months to two (2) years.

Can you answer a few questions?
1. Are you the first owner of your unit?
2. How long has this parking situation been occurring?
3. Any more than four (4) years?

Please let me know your thoughts in regards to the involvement of the other necessary parties.

You may want to discuss this situation confidentially with the other owner that is in your same situation."

我不想起诉另外两家。因为另外两家没有这个争执，他们也没有停车在我们家。我只想起诉C。我们律师认为因为easement是对四家都有效的，所以我们将来在起诉中要要求法官判决要在easement中加入对C（以及处于相同位置的B）的不准停车的限制。我的理解是，既然easement中并没有grant 任何权利给C（以及B）停车在我们家（D）以及A的属地（只授予B和C drive through我们的地的权利），那我家就没有必要要求在easement 中做任何修改，我们只要法官判决我们的对easement的理解是对的（即C不能停车在我们家的地方）就可以了。这个我目前想听听我们律师之外的法律达人的意见，所以上来问一下，我的想法对吗？我家只起诉C可行吗？我们一定要把另外两家拉进来吗？

恳请各位不吝赐教。
