    You'll have to take him to small claims court to get your money. Call your local courthouse to find out what the limits are and the fees. With your contract, it should be a slam dunk.

    What state is this in?

    The courts do not help you collect a judgment if awarded. State laws vary on how you can collect a judgment, but it is up to you to find a way to do it.

    Oh, this site mainly deals with US law, but someone may be able to help.

    My advice is to get a consultation with an attorney and find out what options are available to you. Or possible find a Canadian law site that would be familiar with the laws in your area.

    They are two different countries and they have two different sets of laws. The law in Canada and the law in the US are NOT the same in all, or even most, cases.
