Hi Max,

Try dividing the complex data into two data sets: real and imaginary. 
Then you can apply the NonlinearFit function twice.

For example

data = {{1, 1+2 I},{2, 3+4 I}, {3, 4+5 I}};
dataRe=Map[{#[[1]],Re[#[[2]]]}&,data];
dataIm=Map[{#[[1]],Im[#[[2]]]}&,data];

NonlinearFit[dataRe, func1, ...];
NonlinearFit[dataIm, func2, ...];

Note, you must specify the functions apriori.
