Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
You are wrong for establishing a relationship with that woman before marriage as this is a matter that is forbidden in the Sharee’ah. Rather, the Sharee’ah advised a person who wants to marry to look for a religious woman and then propose to her guardian to marry her.
If this woman has taken her dowry and took over the flat and then denied this in the court, then this is evidence of her bad morals and the weakness of her religion. Therefore, you should advise her and frighten her of Allaah as she might be deterred from her injustice.
However, if she refuses to confess and you do not have anything to prove your right, then it is only the court that may help you. We cannot do anything to help you except to supplicate for you, and we advise you to supplicate Allaah to make a way out for you from your difficulty and sorrow and compensate you with something better.
Allaah Knows best.
