Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Michigan

Hi & thanks in advance for your time.

I won a case here in Michigan against someone who lives in Ohio, but owns property here in Michigan. He has recently quit claimed the property to his daughter. Can I put a Lien on the warranty deed as that is still in the Father's name?

Also, barring the ability to collect on the property here, is it possible to garnish their spousal support as a means of payment?
