Hello.  Does your neigbor have any documentation or is she claiming she owns it because she used it for so long?  If you beleive this strip of land is your land and is worth fighting over, then you will have to "quiet title" to the strip by filing a suit and seeking an order from the court that this strip belongs to you.  I have done quite a few of these, but they can get expensive because you may have to hire an surveyor.  It also depends upon whether you purchased your house with or without knowledge of her claim to the strip.  We can talk more if you want.  Obviously i need more facts.
