Legal Question in Family Law in Minnesota

I hired an attorney to represent me in a divorce/child custody case. I gave her $400 for the flling fee. I have since terminator her as my attorney and requested that money back. She stated to me that the money was used but it was not used for the filling fee as we have not yet filled. Am I entitled to that money back?
