我搜了一下,这个文章提到了近期NSW法律变化带来的影响。其它省要具体查法律。大致是说,邻居有权要求你承担砍树根和修path的费用,但是如果树比房子要早,责任可能不会落在你头上,同时如果在损坏发生前邻居不曾警告你,那么你也可能不需要负责。
但是我想lz需要一些正式的法律帮助,下面这些只是一些辅助的信息:

What orders can a Court make? The Court may make these orders to prevent or rectify damage or injury by the neighbour’s tree –
to the tree – pruning or removal of deadwood, installation of root barriers and/or root pruning, tree maintenance, grinding of trip hazards; and
to the property - re-laying of paths or driveway, re-laying of courtyard paving, replacement of sewer pipes, repair of retaining walls or compensation for this work.
The Court may order the cost of the tree pruning or removal, and repair and replacement work to be paid for by the owner or the neighbour, or be shared.
What principles has the Court lain down to refuse to make an order? To date, the Court has formulated two tree dispute principles, as follows –
The tree was there first – if the tree was already growing when the structure was built or if it was self sown rather than planted, it may mean that no compensation can be recovered by an owner whose structure has been damaged by tree branches or roots from a tree growing on a neighbour’s property.
Ordinary maintenance issues – if an urban tree drops leaves, flowers, fruit, seeds or small deadwood, no order will be made to prune or remove the tree.
No order to pay compensation for repair works or damage to an owner’s structures will be made unless the owner has warned the neighbour and the neighbour fails to prune or remove the tree to prevent further damage – a neighbour is not responsible for damage caused before the warning was given.
No order will be made to prune or remove a tree because animals, such as mammals, birds, reptiles or insects such as bees, may be attracted to a tree or use it for habitat, and cause a nuisance.
