Answer 2

If he has performed services on your behalf - he can bill you for the services rendered.

He helped you get temporary custody - you don't get that work for free.

Answer 3

he can and will bill you for the bills that exceed the 5000 retainer. however, if you dont sign his comntract you probaly wont get much work out of him.  if you leave him, you lose the how 5000.
