Based on the extremely limited facts stated, it would appear you very well may have avenues of recourse, but more information is required. For example, did you endorse the check and then leave it with her, or did she forge your name?

You should sit with a lawyer to discuss the surrounding facts and circumstances, so he or she may evaluate and discuss your options.

Best wishes.
