Always my first destination for accurate, up to date legal advice...

Depends on your written agreement (you have one right?). Work for hire is very specific but unless your agreement overrides your default ownership he is out of luck.

I would be nice about it (bad clients are worse then none) but I would not be handing over without payment!

If you are not under an obligation, then I would skip this client cause it's not likely to be fun.
