Re: ex fiance
Most likely, you have learned a valuable lesson. The only cause of action that I see in the facts as you set them forth is a breach of an oral contract with your ex-fiance. If she does not have assets or resources to attach, you could end up with a judgment against her but no way to collect.
Also, there is the risk that the claim of there being an oral contract cannot be proven. You would need to examine what proof you have regarding the contract (others who knew of it) or if she might acknowledge it.
If there is a local attorney who offers free or low cost initial consultations, it may be worthwhile to lay out all the details.
