I do not know the specifics of the agreement and at this point if you made such drastic steps you should call a local attorney who specializes in employment law. if there is any way to recover expenses they would know as well as any additional losses due to such a drastic move. However with the little information I have you should read your employment contract very carefully. See if any terms are spelled out
Usually employment is at will meaning you might not have any avenues to pursue but because of the complexity of this case you need to consult with someone and provide all the written agreements explain the story and they may be able to determine a caveat allowing you a possible avenue for a claim
