[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you have to fight the liens. Hire a lawyer. Depending on the state if you paid the contractor you may be okay. Some subs will not be eligible to put liens. So those will get thrown out. If they are you can open negotiations with them.

Hire a lawyer go after the contractor and fight the subs.

Next get quotes on finishing the jobs. You have to pick the pieces up and move on.[/quote]

+1 - While I understand the one lawyer telling you not to sue because of the cost and eventual outcome, you need to do the necessary to fight the liens and to also establish your claim if this builder someday gets back in business. And certainly there is something criminal here? How does one steal ~100k with forged receipts and not face a criminal charge?

I think your resentment of your husband is understandable, especially since it seems that he's not proactively working to find a solution. I think that needs to be number one between the two of you - figuring out a solution. If the project is 70% complete does that mean that the pool is operable and it's just the poolhouse? If that's the case I would work together to make a list of what needs to be done and hire on my own to get it complete - i.e. - I wouldn't hire another general contractor to over see it.

I am sorry that you are going through this. It's a nightmare.[/quote]
