How can you sue someone for breach of promise?
You should talk to an attorney to find out if that's still even a thing where you live ... in many places it is not. Breach of promise is a largely outdated legal concept. It's generally considered that women are actually people nowadays, believe it or not, so they're not entirely helpless and dependent upon a man, and the "promise" in question has no actual monetary value. Depending on the circumstances you might be able to sue to recover actual expenditures you incurred as a result of the wedding planning though. This is why you should talk to an attorney: breach of promise may be mostly dead, but breach of contract is alive and well, and a promise to marry is a verbal contract.

Can you sue someone for breach of promise if they told you for a year you and your children were going to move into a house that he built?
No, there is no consideration for this promise as you are giving nothing in exchange for this promise (in your hypothetical). If you reasonably relied on the promise to your detriment, you may have a promissory estoppel argument to enforce the promise.This is America. You can sue anybody for anything. Really, really. I doubt you'd get anything though.
Can you sue a company for promising i have proof of this promise to deliver a product to you at a certain time and not delivering the product when promised?
You may sue for breach of this promise only if the failure to make the delivery on time is a material breach of the contract and if you suffered monetary damages as a result of the breach. The promise to deliver at a specific time is not automatically a material provision of the contract per se although it can be made so within the contract itself. Never the less, even if it is a material provision and if it has been breached, you may not sue if you have suffered no monetary damages as a result of the failure to make an on time delivery.

If you're seeing a man for almost 7 years waiting for him to divorce so you can get married and he just defaults can you sue for breach of promise?
I am NOT an attorney. I do know that even where the breach of promise laws may still be on the books (many states have wiped them off the books) it is very rarely used, and when it is used it is not likely to be successful. I wouldn't put much hope in winning or even making such a case.
Can you sue a guy for giving you a promise ring along with a promise and did not stick to his promise?
