Do I have any legal avenues to recoup these missed payments?
Absolutely. You can write the first 1-2 "demand letters" yourself (look up the term for easily findable guidance on how to do this). In particular you can remind them as to which legal codes apply in your state and what they say about default payment terms.
Be sure to put in a firm deadline ("within 15/30 days") - no need to include additional threats of what you'll do after that point. Just be clear about the deadline.
And in the meantime find yourself a lawyer to start firing off more formal-sounding letters (likely costing 250-400 a pop) + to provide guidance on what to do after that. You'l have to dip into your pocket a bit, but that's the cost of doing business.
