If your original contract did not include a lien (which I assume it did not or you would have filed it then) you can't just file a lien. You hae to sue her for the money and win, at which point you will have a judgment lien. Whether you will win may depend on whether your agreement that she pay you in intallments, or that she pay you by a certain date, or that she pay you when she could, etc?. If your agreement was to pay you in installments, which it looks like on its face because she has been doing si for years and you accepted without suing her for breach of contract, you have no right to get your money all at once. Also, if you sue, you will have to decide whether to sue in MO or MN. Each has advantages and disadvantages, which yoiu shoudl probably discuss with a local attorney.
