Hi there,

My partner has a disabled 5yr old son, who lives with his mother (who is depressed). He looks after his son twice a week and every other weekend.
Can anyone tell me if I am able to take or have the right to take unpaid leave should an emergency crop up?

The mother will often text my partner to say she can’t even get out of bed and expect him to help out, which isn’t always possible. She has no other friends or anybody that can help her.

Can anyone shed some light? We’ve been together for a year and just moved in together.

Many thanks for your help.

Nell
