boundary disputes
Property line arguments
Boundary disputes are conflicts over where a dividing line falls—between nations, properties, or jurisdictions.
Countries contest borders; neighbors argue over fences.
The term extends to interpersonal conflicts about limits: They're in therapy working through boundary disputes about his mother's involvement in their marriage.
The phrase implies ongoing disagreement rather than settled violation.
