Unfortunately the fence has been there since before we moved in. It's a battle I'm tired of fighting.
I'm curious what others in similar situations have done. I've tried talking to them before but none of them give a shit since the growth from their weeds is on my side. Not their problem and all that BS.

Pay to get your corner's found from a land survey company. This will truly determine where your property corners are. Once you know exactly where your property corners are (this is vital information) then you can move the fence to your property corners.
Now, here's the deal: if your neighbors complain about you moving the fence, tell them tough, that you have no choice, because they refuse to deal with the overgrowth. This "may" motivate them to say "ok, we will do something about the overgrowth".
Now, if the fence has been in place longer than 7 years, you may have no legal right to move the fence, even though it is not on the property line or close to the property line, because after seven years, the courts can decide that it's the "understood" boundary. Regardless, get your property surveyed, find your corners, go from there. Don't assume you know where your corners are.
