She may or may not be entitled to anything depending on the language of the contract. She would need a lawyer wherever your ex-boyfriend lives. There is a very good chance that a suit for an amount as small as $4000 would cost her more than $4000 in legal fees, so she might want to pay to consult with a lawyer, but, if appropriate, file on her own as a small claims case.
