Reply to comment by Responsible-Listen12 in anybody know exact paternity leave law in Massachusetts? finding conflicting info by NinthLifeLastChance

You can only take medical leave for your own condition, so unless you're the one pregnant it doesn't apply to parental leave, only the 12 weeks family leave.

If you're married, spouse's major medical qualifies you for relative's major medical. But it would take you beyond the 12 weeks that FMLA protects your job.

Incorrect. I am currently on week 9 of my paternity leave. I was not the one who gave birth.

Edit: looks like I’m wrong. PFML & Medical leave are different apparently
