What does your contract say? It may allow you to sue in your state. However, you can't go wrong if you sue in his state.

It depends so talk with an attorney. Usually, you would prefer to file in your home state.

You are asking what jurisdiction should it be filed. I would have to read the contract to answer.

Where your company should file a lawsuit depends on several factors including whether the contract has a provision that specifies where a legal proceeding must occur. Other factors may include how many connections that person has with your state, where the contract was to be performed and where your company and that person are headquartered and/or conducts business.
