We have a project that has stopped because of lack of funding in GA. They have a remaining balance of 33,000.00. We have done 25,0000.00 of that work, perhaps a bit more. The contract was larger than this amount, but theyve paid up until now. Can I file the lien for the remaining balance of 33,000.00 or only the 25,000.00? It seems like they should be responsible for the remainder of the contract, but I am not sure.
