Question: can fmla be used for paternity leave?
Answer: When it comes to family leave, the focus is often on new moms. But, dads are also entitled to (unpaid) leave from work as a part of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). ... A father can use FMLA leave for the birth of a child and to care for his spouse who is incapacitated (due to pregnancy or child birth).
