I want to know if there are any legal ramifications if I choose not to continue working with a contractor that we already started doing some work on his job site?

Primarily getting paid for what you claim, or sued for abandonment damages.

There could be, but it depends on the terms of your contract with the general.

It may also depend on why it is you choose to no longer work with the general, this may be covered by the agreement as well.

Beware of penalty or delay of job charges in your agreement with the general.

If you want me to look over your agreement, please feel free to contact me at the email address provided by LawGuru.

It depends. What are your reasons? Are they for non-payment? Before you do anything, have an attorney review your contract and explain your situation to him or her. They'll be able to better advise you with specific information. Your worst case scenario is that you stop working on the site and you are sued for breach of contract.

Hey, the reason they call you guys "contractors" is that you enter into contracts. If you want to know whether you can do, or not do, something, read the papers you wrote up and/or signed. It should be in there.
