This may be more about whether there was any agreement on the increase/supplement than whether the term itself is unconscionable, but certainly both
arguments are valid and worth making. Unfortunately, it sounds like you're going to have to sue the contractor to recover the funds -- especially since the
work wasn't even completed. Feel free to contact my firm if we may be helpful. See More...

You'd likely have to file a lawsuit to collect. If you finished the work recently, you may be able to place a mechanic's lien on the property, but that is
fact-specific. If you'd like to retain an attorney, I'm sure anyone who responds would be happy to help.

This wouldn't be a lien situation, but rather a rule to show cause against your ex for failing to make the payments in compliance with the final divorce decree
and/or property settlement agreement. If you need help enforcing the divorce order, please let me know. We'd be happy to help.

Thanks for posting your question. You have a few options: 1) File a mechanic's lien for the amount you're owed; 2) Send a letter to the homeowner explaining
that work was done and materials were purchased and that you're entitled to compensation; 3) File a lawsuit to collect the $3,000 (or more if you're owed
more). Of course, you could also do some combination of the above. Hopefully, your contract allows you to recover attorney's fees if you have to See More...

An unlicensed contractor cannot place a mechanic's lien on a property, so if/when the contractor tries to enforce the lien, within 6 months of filing, a
relatively simple defense could be that the lien in not valid because the contractor is not licensed. If you didn't want to wait for the contractor to file, you
could file a slander of title lawsuit against the contractor.
