Generally, an employer has the right to determine what shift employees will work. I'm sure other employees have child care or other issues as well, and the employer may believe it is fair to everyone to require folks to work late shifts. I think it is quite possible your fiance will have to either find someone to handle child care while he is working 2nd shift, or find another job.
