Hi Michele,
First of all, let me suggest to you
that the two of you should not be
living together unless and until
your marriages are annulled. Having
said that, let me address your question.
Any person can baptize another as
long as the form, matter and intent
is correct. He *can*,
baptize your niece, but *shouldn't* (except
in danger of death).
If he does, he is to inform the pastor
of the parish in the area where the
Baptism was administered so it can
be properly recorded.
It would be better if your niece
was baptized in the Church by a priest,
but if an emergency arose, any person,
even one who is not baptized, can
perform the sacrament.
If your niece (is/was) not in an
emergency, then baptismal classes
for the [parent(s)/guardian(s)] should
be undertaken.
