The answer may depend on whether she is considered a resident or merely your guest. If she receives mail there, changed the address on her license or voting registration, then she might be considered a resident. In which case, you will need to follow the eviction prodedures of Ch.83 of the statutes.
If not, the she merely has a license, which can be revoked at any time. If you have asked a guest to leave, and she has refused, then the person is now tresspassing. The sheriff's office does not like to get involvled in such disputes without a court order, though, so you will likely need a Writ of Possession from the court.
The clerk of court may have forms for both procedures, but they are not allowed to help you fill out the forms. If you need help, contact an experienced landlord/tenant attorney.
If the lady in your home has never paid you rent or contributed to your household expenses then you will need to file a law suit in county court for unlawful detainer. If she has paid you rent or contributed in some way to the household expenses, but has now stopped paying, you will need to file an eviction law suit in county court.
You might be able to file either of these law suits on your own, but if done improperly, you could prolong the stay of your unwelcome guest in your house, or worse, be responsible for her attorney's fees and costs if you do not prevail. I recommend you consult with a local attorney who practices in landlord/tenant law to handle this for you.

Its probably NOT an ejectment proceeding as much an unlawful detainer issue. These can be very complex so I would recommend hiring a lawyer to help you.
