Legal Question in Family Law in California

divorce is not final

My ex's attorney has the signed judgment to get my divorce finalized. My ex's attorney won't file it because my ex owes him money. Can his attorney do that? My attorney feels that she has done her part and won't respond. What can I do to get this divorce finalized?
