Paycheck held hostage

I quit my job 2 weeks ago and was owed one week of pay that was due today. No direct deposit came in. I reached out to owner of the company and he said I would have to reach out to his wife (she does payroll) to figure out how to get my check. I know they just want me to come get it from their house and bitch me out for quitting. Is this legal? What are my options ? My boss basically said he was not going to spend the money to send my check through payroll. And that I was no longer on payroll.
