How much did your attorney cost? Is this normal...

I had a consultation with an attorney who is asking for a $5000 retainer. He says this will cover all the initial filing and hearings. He was not sure if it would be more than that because it depends on whether or not H fights anything. If it matters, we have one baby, H cheated, and I'll be going for emergency temporary custody, alimony and child support. He charges 250 an hour. Is this normal? What did you pay? Anything else I abound know? Thanks!
