I'm a self-employed writer and hope to return to working on my book a couple of months after giving birth (yes, it's clearly my first and I have no idea what I'm letting myself in for, but I also have a book deal and a deadline!). My question is how does this affect my husband's rights to paternity leave? I've looked at the gov.uk advice: www.gov.uk/paternity-pay-leave/overview Beyond the initial 2 weeks, it says he can get 26 further weeks if I've "returned to work" but it assumes I'm employed by a company. Any ideas? What can I do to maximise the amount of time my husband is around to help me!
