Payment for breach of contract

ArizonaCollectionsConstruction ContractPayment Disputes

I am in Arizona and have a contract with a homeowner from 2017. The project is still not completed and I want to collect on an invoice that was sent to her when she put a hold on the project. The homeowner put the project on hold for 8 weeks due to loss of a job and I submitted an invoice which has gone unpaid. She filed with the registrar of contractors because of changes to the plans that she says she didnt approve and we were issued a corrective order. I fought it and won but now want to collect on that invoice. I should note that she paid for the completed work according to the contract, but is in breach because of the delay. Can I collect under the prompt pay act?

The Prompt Pay Act would not apply to an owner occupied residential project unless notice of the application of the act was provided to the homeowner, which almost never happens. That does not mean you are not owed the money. It just means the Prompt Pay Act does not apply.
