Family Medical Leave Act (FLMA) the person sick would have to be sick enough to require frequent assistance form the family member requesting FMLA. I would said probably not.
FMLA is a federal law to provide for employees who are expecting children or have newborn children. There are specific criteria required for an employee to be protected by FLMA, including length of employment. If the employee does not fit within the criteria, an employer may disapprove FMLA.
Usually not. Maternity leave is technically medical leave. New mothers are out on leave for 6-8 weeks to heal, per the OB's orders. You would be entitled to 12 weeks of unpaid FLMA leave. Check with your employeer, sometimes they have special programs that allow parents who adopt to take off a few paid weeks. CONGRATS on your baby!
