I realize Soc is gone but I figured I'd post here because its sort of a legal question.
My fiance and I live in MA.
My fiance fell behind in child support and was found in contempt, so the judge ordered him to pay the full amount and to do 90 days of community service.
My fiance found out that he is the only one in the community service program that is not getting "compensated" for his work (all the others are working for an hourly wage and that money goes to pay for their fine or their arrears in child support.)
It sounds like slave labor. Is this legal and is there anything he can do about it? Can he appeal or something?
Thanks.
