 Hi scrow113,
Could you give us some more information? You mention that your fiance is paying child support to her ex. I assume that means he has custody? Is she paying the full amount as ordered when they went through their divorce? If this is the case, then I don't think he could sue for anything. They are no longer in a relationship and therefore she is not financially responsible for him. Also, any judge will order child support based on what is possible; he has to leave her with what the government has deemed a basic standard of living.
As for legal advice, you can try asking someone here: http://www.freeadvice.com/ if it goes to court, you are entitled to free counsel by the state and will be provided that. But if you want preemptive advice, it is best to ask on the site provided, or some of the other legal forums out there.
I also did a little searching and found out that Pennsylvania is starting a new program for free legal advice... if you can hang on until July 7th, that is when the initiative starts. More information here: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/09173/979150-100.stm?cmpid=news.xml
Good luck, and feel free to clarify anything if I haven't answered your question.
