He can take part of the paid parental leave if you go back to work
sorry JM, this isn't the case - if the mother returns to work, the PPL entitlement stops on the day she returns to work.

it can be paid to the other parent/carer but only in limited circumstances (like the father becomes primary carer at birth because mum is sick etc) or can be paid in dad's name but ONLY if mum continues to remain eligible for it.
