The Michigan Construction Lien Act protects contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers who provide improvements to real property under a contractual arrangement. Unfortunately, the facts you have presented would not support a construction lien.  

P.S. I'm sorry about how things went with your daughter. I hope time will heal the relationship.

Your facts do not support filing a construction lien on your daughter's home. HOWEVER, recently there was a guy in Michigan who sued his parents, and won, when they destroyed his pornography collection to "protect" him (he had moved into their home when he got divorced, moved away and asked them to send his stuff to him, they sent most but destroyed his porn collection) So you can sue your daughter for the value of the items she destroyed, trashed or converted.
