It requires mutual agreement of both parties. In some cases there may be penalties associated with an early end. Most contracts include termination clauses that provide the methods and reasons the contract can be terminated. You may wish to consult a contract attorney for assistance.

It depends on the fine print and the state of the economy. Some, like dealers, banks, services, and companies you pay, may not want to terminate them because keeping your contract is a source of income. Others, like companies that employ you, want to keep the option of termination open if the contractor's company is suffering economically. All this information should be in the extended terms of the contract itself.

That completely depends on the contract you signed with them. First you need to determine if you have the legal right to terminate the contractor as per the contract. Generally one of the three conditions have to be met: the contractor is court ordered into bankruptcy, makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors due to contractors insolvency, or a court appoints a receiver to the contractor Secondly, the contractor is entitled to receive funds for the work he has reasonably completed to date.
