If you’re from the uk you won’t get SMP if your partner is off as only one off you will get maternity pay. But his job might not give him that long off or agree to pay for it. I read you can do shared maternity, but that would require you to go to work x
Shared parental leave is a thing, you’d need to look into it as not sure how it would work if someone is unemployed. Just wondering why he’d need to take a year off if you’re unemployed anyway?
Depends on their job and state. I live in NYC and my fiancé and I both were working when I was pregnant. He got parental leave at his job for 6 weeks and 12 weeks with the state. I got 8 weeks with my job and 12 weeks with the state. Both were paid
Really depends on there job
