Legally? Zero.
You can take unpaid leave under the Family Medical Leave Act but there's no guarantee that your same job will return once you decide to return.
Your company may offer you some time off (progressive companies do) but that's up to them as an at-will employee.

The Medical and Family leave act allows 12 unpaid weeks off to care fo a child or loved one. Regardless of gender. But there are rules for this, I believe there has to be 50 or more employees working for the company at any given time to qualify for this ACT.

Firstly, it's paternity leave for a dad. Maternity is for mom. It varies from a few days to a week or more. This website may help: http://www.babycenter.com/refcap/8258.html

The State of Missouri gives men 6 weeks, the same as women. Not to would be discrimination.

12 weeks under FMLA (family medical leave act). If his employer has more than 50 employees and he meets the eligiblity requirement (worked there a year or 1250 hours).

Men aren't allowed any maternity leave. They are however allowed 'paternity' leave.
