Legal Question in Business Law in Georgia

Contractor payment to Subcontractor
With GA law, can a GC not pay a Sub for work if the GC has not been paid by the end-client?

In NC, where I reside, the law states that a GC CANNOT refuse to pay their Sub simply because they have not yet been paid by their client.

I am about to sign a Subcontract Agreement where the Claims and Disputes are governed by the laws of Cobb county, GA.
I live and have a main office in NC. The work will be performed in all Southeast states. My attorney is not familiar with GA law. Help?

GA law is the same as NC law in this respect. In fact, if the sub is not paid, he can file a lien against the property owner.
