Paternity leave extended to the mother's spouse, civil partner or cohabiting partner (paternity and childcare leave)
The 2013 Social Security Financing Act turns paternity leave into "paternity and childcare leave". In addition to the father, it is open to the mother's spouse, civil partner or cohabiting partner, regardless of sex. The length remains 11 days (18 days for multiple births), with the same daily allowances. The article sets no specific start date: it took effect the day after the law was published.
