Legal Question in Family Law in Connecticut

In connection with a Connecticut divorce action, an amount of money was ordered by the court to be held in escrow pending the outcome of the trial. My former attorney was named as escrow agent. The trial is over, and the funds may now be released. However, my former attorney is refusing to return the funds, unless her outstanding fees (which are in dispute) are paid. Can she do this?
