When a shark gives birth if it is in an egg it can take around 7 months for it to hatch. But some sharks are born from live birth. After sharks are born the mother leaves, the pups are left to fend for them selves.
70% of sharks give birth to live offspring. These "pups" are self sufficient as soon as they are born. So no, sharks DON'T take care of their pups.

Then, the other 30% born through eggs ...they don't take care of those either. lay'em and go.

The most a shark does for its young is carry the pups inside the womb in a placenta or egg(filled with nutrients). Once they are born they fend for themselves.

Sharks do not raise their young. Great white sharks are ovoviviparous, meaning that the eggs say inside the mother's body and continue to develop until leaving the mother's body. After birthing, the young sharks swim off, as sharks are cannibalistic, and will not hesitate to eat their own offspring.
