You will have to file a notice of cancelation of lien. Depending on the amount in dispute, I would suggest that they deposit the funds in escrow, with instructions that the escrow agent disburse the funds, upon filing of the notice of cancelation of lien. Good luck.

There is a statutory construction lien form called Waiver and Release of Lien upon Final Payment. I strongly recommend that you exchange the lien waiver for the final payment check. The form provides that the waiver is contingent on the check being paid by the bank.
