It would have helped some what to have some of the particulars of what you do and what type of clients that you have to give guidance here. It could have some bearing if say there are third parties that benefit from your work or could be harmed if you stopped. Generally speaking, your contract will govern what your rights and obligations are here along with the contract law in your state. Halting work will definitely get their attention and move the matter in one way or another to conclusion. I just don't want to see you being sued for breach of contract even though it seems that they may have already breached (which makes it a whole different ball game). Seek legal hep in your area and bring the documents with you. Good luck.
