You can get help online.  Try going to the website of the law library of the state in which you reside.  Ask your questions, and they'll reply, usually within 24 hours.  No matter how family-like the company is, you should leave if you're not being paid.  You owe them nothing, but they owe you!  I hope everything works out for you, and you find a job you like, soon.

 I'm not trying to be a smart aleck, but as long as you allow him to get away with it.  It's a violation the the Fair Labor Standards Act.  See www.dol.gov about how to recover back wages.

 You need to find a new job and then persue your back pay. It sounds as if your employer is nearing a point of bankruptcy or closure. The longer you continue to hang on the worse things become for you in the event either happens.

 They cannot expect you to work for them if they haven't paid you. 2 paychecks is taking the p*** in my opinion.  I bet the managers have been paid. Get another job.
