as mentioned above there should be boiler plate mandatory mediation for these circumstances.. but as long as U dont sign the release the money just sits in title company account.. after some time with no resolution  ( At least in OR and WA which usually is very close to CA) money is then interpleaded to the courts for disposition then you both lawyer up.. these rarely go that far as lawyer fee's exceed the amount your arguing about.but splitting the baby in some manner is for sure a very common outcome if you dont want the drama.

I get the State's monthly newsletter about contractors being taken to court for doing work without a license.

Courts are backed up and it will take months if not a couple of years for courts to catch up with evictions filed during the last 2 years.2.

The amount of time was due to COVID shutting down the courts and making us wait on title.
