2. Placement of a child with the partner for adoption or foster care (up to 12 weeks); 3. To care for an immediate family member (partner’s spouse, same-sex domestic partner, child, grandchild, parent, parent in-law, parent of same-sex domestic partner, or grandparent) with a serious health condition (up to 12 weeks); 4. Because of the partner’s serious health condition that makes the partner unable to perform the partner’s job (up to 12 weeks); 5. To care for your child requiring care for a non-serious health condition (up to 12 weeks); 6. To care for a Covered Service member with a serious injury or illness related to certain types of military service (up to 26 weeks) (see Military-Related FMLA Leave for more details); 7. To handle certain qualifying exigencies arising out of the fact that the partner’s spouse, son, daughter, or parent is on duty under a call or order to active duty in the Armed Forces (e.g., National Guard or Reserves) in support of a contingency operation (up to 12 weeks) (see Military-Related FMLA Leave for more details); or 8.
