It is a rare contract that is iron-clad for a fixed amount of time, as no
employer wants to lock in to a relationship that may not work. I suggest
that the OP read the contract that was signed at the beginning of the
engagement, find the termination clause, and use its terms for saying
bye-bye.

Just my two cents.
