Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

ex girlfriend/fiance threatening to sue over $350

My fiance's ex has contacted us through email 2 years after their break up asking for half of the payment of utility bills (accumulated over months). Her name is the only one on all utility bills and was the only name on the apt. lease, although the landlord knew he was there too. My fiance paid 90% of utility bills and rent in the four years they were together in this apt., except the utility bills that accumulated from the last few months of their togetherness. He has minimal documentation of his job earnings in 4 yrs due to working ''under the table'' and running his own private music business. she has history of only ~ four months at a minimum wage job in the 4 yrs. he usually gave her full amount of cash and she wrote a check (he only had a checking acct. for part of the 4 years). Her father gave her money to pay for things as well, but I don't believe he kept any documentation of when and how much. Does she have a case to take him to small claims over this small amount or since everything was in her name, he legally is not obligated to give her any money? She has no idea where he lives and he only has one credit card that is tied to his current address, so other than email she has no way of contacting him.

Thank you.
