If the general contractor is terminated, are the subcontractors obligated to the project owner and/or bonding company under the original contract to complete their portion of the work?
This according to Florida statutes.
This one is for any construction lawyers out there?

Depends on your state and how the contracts were drawn up, but generally no. If you hire only the general and he hires the subs, the subs are terminated along with the general. And when they are, they have a right to go directly to the owner for payment for work that they have already done. If not paid, they may sue to enforce a mechanic’s lien against the property.
