She's a tenant at will and you are the default landlord. You will have to go through the process of evicting her. That being said, this is not going to be easy, and if there is any merit to her assertion you were married it will be nearly impossible for you to turn her out in the street. Courts would not be particularly enthused over what looks to me like a retaliatory eviction.
