Hi,

Please, do I need the preposition before “me”?

We fell out over the money she owes (to) me.

TIA

No, and I would change "owes" to "owed" to make the tenses agree.

A sound piece of advice, Lol.
And in terms of grammar? It's still relevant, so I guess the concord is not necessary.

I think one way to express that, while maintaining tense agreement, is to use the perfect:

"We've fallen out over the money she owes me."
