It depends on what country (or US state) you live in, possibly the size of the company you work for, and company policy. You need to investigate if there is a local law and what it says, then talk to your company's personnel department.

I know in the uk that if you are employed for 26 weeks by the time the pregnancy is 25 weeks the government pay you through your employer for 2 weeks leave at about £106 a week. i also think that (same as maternity) you may be able to make a claim direct from the jobcentre if you have not been employed for this long.
the website i have lised will help you with all your questions.

you are entitled to 2 wks paternity leave at £100 per week if you were employed for any length of time prior to the mother falling pregnant. as long as you started working there before she got pregnant you'll be ok

I don't think so you have to be employed for more than 6 months - but check with your employer they will tell you if you are entitled or not. Congratulations by the way.

You don't say where you live.... men are entitled to statutory paternity leave here in the UK, but it is all unpaid. I think its either a week or two weeks... go to the DTI web page if you live in the UK, the most recent rulings and laws are published there.

Federal guidlanes state that you are granted up to 12 weeks, unpaid leave, if you have been employed 1 year or have worked 1250 hours

I doubt it. You can however take a weeks vacation if you have that much vacation time. Thats what my fiance did. If he would have taken a week paternity leave, he wouldn't have gotten paid. The week vacation he was able to get paid.

I think it depends on where you are from, and what your employer says. The state of Ca gives you 12 weeks.

Depends where you work....I work for the state and they allow you to take that time, now non state companies I can't say...call your HR department, they should be able to answer all your questions and get you the paperwork.
