    I think it's reasonable to conclude that the original $1400 estimate was only between your and his companies. Now that his company is dissolved, so is the agreement.

    That said, to keep things positive, you could go into a new agreement with the wife that states you'll do $1000 worth of work, and treat it as a new ballgame.

    If you allow backwash, expect an ill feeling. If you let her blur the lines, then you leave yourself wide open.

    P.S. As part of this new chapter, I'd suggest you get a "work complete" invoice showing that you've been paid for work done, and you are not expecting further payment since there is nothing to work on for him...zero everything out.
