I'm an ind. contractor, can I sue?
I made an agreement with the CEO and cfo that I'll stay until July 15th to train the CEO son in law so long as I get paid 40 hours a week. we all agreed, however the second day the cfo went to vacation the CEO wanted me to cut my hours to half starting the next day until July 15. rather than accepting the agreement I quit. if I knew the CEO was going to do this to me, I would have not trained his son in law in the first place

ONLY if you delivered on the terms of the contract. It appears you were "paid" for 2 days and then you quit. How much training was THAT when you agreed the end of the training was the 15th? So, it would seem that 2 days was not enough to deliver on the terms from YOUR side, so you quit. Big deal. Neither of you fulfilled the contract terms. Your only argument is the magnitude. You were being paid for performance, NOT simply for the HOURS that you did NOT work. You say "I would not have trained" but I have to ask, how much training did you actually DO in what appears to only be TWO DAYS???
I get the impression that you did not have a written contract with them about this, so you will not have any proof of your agreement. Further, you quit and breached the contract instead of completing your obligations, after which you could then have an action against them since they did not hold up their end.
So, with this mutual breach no one would get anything.
