The part about the father would be covered under the FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act). I am somewhat versed in this piece of legislation as I had to use it after my son was born handicapped. There were times when he was ill and I had to take time off from work to take care of him. This piece of legislation is important because it has saved many people's jobs during a time in their lives where they needed time off to care for a sick family member.
