More details to this question:
my ex fiancé & I bought a house. I am not on the deed. I bought the remodel plans, spent 65k & did the work myself. We broke up and refuses to give me any part of ownership. I also paid to save the house from foreclosure. She is selling & stand to make 100k+. Everything for 5 years was about "our" house can I sue her for partial ownership of the home because there was always intent to build and live together?

You would seem to have an excellent case if you are able to substantiate everything you put into the house. In fact, the sooner you file suit, the sooner it will show up as an impediment to the sale of the house, because it will be seen as a lien on the home.
