i hired a divorce attorney and gave her $5000. she told me that the final cost of the divorce would be between $5000 and $10,000. i have nothing in writing, just our verbal agreement.
my divorce is almost complete and a couple of months ago she asked for, and received from me $3000.
now she wants another $5000, bringing my total to $13,000.
is it fair to ask her for an itemized invoice? she has gone over the agreed upon $10,000 max. do i have any recourse?
thank you.

Ask for an itemized billing statement. If you have a dispute with the bill you can contact the state bar for help.
