Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

I need a court order of legal guardianship on my 20 yr old niece in order to transfer my VA education benefits to her to help her mother (my sister) pay for college as I already have a master degree and both my own chilfren have completed college. Unable to accomplish this in sister's home state. As a resident of Virginia, can I request legal custody of a 20 yr old full time student?

to award you guardianship over your (presumably fully competent) niece merely for the financial reasons which you've referenced.
