You can always sue your niece for contributions, for reimbursement of what you have to pay as you pay it but the niece probably cannot repay.
This sounds like a private loan and not one from the federal government. A private student lender cannot easily get a wage attachment If might not even be able to prove it owns any loan. You'll need to hire an attorney.
