Proof of what I paid for

CaliforniaChange Orders

I hired a GC to build my house. There were many problems on the job. His 1st change orders were very complete. Then he began to stop ALL work if change orders were not paid in full in advance. The change orders now contained the item and amount. Like interior barn doors $6,000 ( cost Breakdown) increased by $1,438.89 to $7,438.89. I reminded him that we changed the contract to included those doors. He agreed, but I went a head paid the change order. He had me verify the doors were correct. They were. Later he sent me a new change order for the interior doors. On it he refunded the $7,438.89 and now he charged $17,565.83. The only changes to the original was 2 doors changed from 3 panel glass to 4 that he said were $39 per door more and Knotty Alder trim that should only cost $2,000 and 1 door changed from a barn door to a swing door because they way it was framed, would not allow a barn door to be used. These items were not mentioned on the change order. Only Knotty Alder Door, case, window case except living room and bedrooms and the $17,565.83. I would like to see the invoice. I price everything and could not come close. How can I get a copy of what I paid for. The door company when I asked said they could not give me a copy and I understood. I asked if they could at least tell me the number of doors. He started counting framed door opening and stopped. The reason is because I had no framed openings. I think I paid for items I didn't receive. What can I do?
