It depends on where you live. But as far as nationally in the US, there is the FMLA..Family Medical Leave Act, and that allows you to take time off, with full pay for I believe up to 12 weeks a year, for whatever you need it for whether it be having a new baby, taking care of a sick spouse...whatever. So if you live in the US then you've at least got that....

FMLA covers Fathers as well as Mothers. It is unpaid leave for up to 12 weeks.

There is but it depends on the company. Where I work the father can get two weeks off, I think?
