No! Not until it falls on him.

Take out a large life insurance policy and move on. He's going to do what he's going to do.

Don't call 911 until he gets hurt cutting down the tree.

My question actually was - will police dissuade him from cutting the tree? Would they talk him out of it?



Unless there are signs of gross negligence then no. ( I just asked an Officer in the room with me)

This is not a 911 call situation.

This is also not a police situation.

Neither entity exists to mediate your marital disputes.

Only after he chops it down on himself.

I think a possible option would be to have a contractor cut down the tree before your husband can. If you make enough calls you can probably get someone out there within a day. Make sure the contractor is insured. Have them leave the stump for your husband to hack on. He'll eventually need to call someone to remove the stump, though.

911 Dispatcher here........Please don't.

If you would like assistance with a dispute with your husband you can call the non emergency number and Officers can try and mediate.
However he has a legal right to cut a tree down on his own property so if he insists then theres not much the Police can do.
