FMLA - Birth of a child

HR in VA · June 2002

Can a father take FML for the birth of a child if he is not married to the mother? (I'm thinking yes if he provides something to show he is the father, like a copy of the birth certificate).

I believe he can, so long as it is his biological child. And yes, you can require him to bring you the birth certificate as proof. 29 CFR 825.113 covers this issue if you need more information.
