First of all, no individual can "press charges" against another individual in a criminal case. A person can make a police report. The police then take their report and give it to the district attorney. The district attorney then decides whether to file a case or not. If the district attorney does decide to file a case, he files an Information with the court clerk charging the defendant with a crime.

Your fiance could make a false police report at any time to the police saying he did not authorize you to take money out of his account. False police reports are made all the time.
