We built a fence last year and talked to both neighbours. We needed for our dogs, so were more expecting to cover the entire cost.
Neighbours on the one side paid right away. The other side were doing a bunch of renovations and expecting their fourth child. We didn't end up seeing any money from them, but were okay with that.
Neighbours on both sides are good though and hasn't caused any issues.
Also make sure you call and have them check for utility before you or the contractor dig the post holes. We ended paying a lot more for the holes on the neighbour who didn't pays side because the gas and power ran right down the property line. We had to hire a hydro vac to dig the holes.
