Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

You two need to resolve your issues, and probably wind down the company, or you'll end up in litigation about the 'stolen' money. Hire an attorney to help you.

This requires immediate responsive action in order to meet the continuing needs of the business. It is important that you get a legal analysis for the long-term but that the problem is approached in a way to maximize the potential of getting an immediate plan in place so that the business doesn't suffer because the two of you no longer trust one another. This can be worked out informally or requested as emergency relief through a court. More information is necessary to determine the best plan, but I recommend that you get an attorney involved sooner rather than later.

This is exactly the kind of situation that mediation can help resolve, whether by restoring the business relationship, or more likely assisting the parties in disolving the LLC and determining what to do with the assets of the business. The alternative is usually a long and costly court fight over the business that benefits no one but us attorneys.
