Since the US courts do cooperate with the Canadian courts, yes, if the situation warranted it, it would be possible to freeze/put a lien on US assets. Any ability to freeze assets outside of the US or Canada would depend on the laws of that particular country.

I have no idea how much it would cost to do that, as I assume she would be filing in Canada.
