Thanks greatly for the input guys.

Life is complicated, and it is not always as simple as not working for him. I was slow, had just hired a guy, and thought I had taken some safeguards, such as front loading the billing, and discussing our past experiences. I also had an "agreement" that he would pay me ahead of the customer. So, overall I'm not that far behind (about $1,000.00) but hey, money is money, and I want it this time.
