I'm sure this varies from state to state, and it also depends on the nature of your contract (or lack of one). If you the developer are doing work for hire, on a time and materials basis, your customer may own the code. But if you retain ownership of the code through your contract, and your customer licenses it from you, things are certainly different.
I've had clients who also wanted what they called a "hit by a truck" clause: that if I was unable or unwilling to support the application and they had met their obligations, they could obtain full source code from a third party holding the source code in escrow.
