wrote Re contractor sends a bill 7 months later:

This latest invoice was never presented to the family and has never
surfaced until now, 7 months later.

(1) What makes the contractors new bill legitimate over the previous
Zero Balance invoice?
(2) Why did it take 7 months to present this new invoice?

You had a contract for a specfied sum. You paid it and have an
statement
from the contractor acknowledging so. Did you sign a change order
during
the course of the job? If so, pay it; if not, send the bill back to the
contractor along with a copy of the "PAID" statement and a note saying
you
have already paid.

Good advice.

It's not advice. It is the legal answer to the question.

Sheesh, like only the contractor could mark "PAID" across an invoice.
Proof of payment is the only way to show proof of payment.
