I am hiring someone to do a large project at my home and am writing up the contract. I will pay 1/2 up front and remaining when finished. Should i do a partial lien waiver?

Any time payment is made, it's a good idea to get a corresponding lien waiver. And, when a lien waiver is being used for a partial payment, a partial lien waiver is more appropriate than a final lien waiver would be. With that being said, keep in mind that a contractor won't be able to file a lien for any amounts they've received anyway. So, on single-contractor projects, lien waivers tend to be less critical. Ultimately, as long as there's proof that a payment has been made to a contractor, then that will likely provide the same cover that a lien waiver would. Regardless, it's still a good idea to get in the practice of exchanging lien waivers for payment.
