I got a letter for Jury Duty today but it starts the before my partner is due a baby , I'd be on two weeks paternity leave, One of our other kids is will just be gone 2 a few days so she will need my help at home , Is that a valid excuse for me to get off ?

Not involved in the legal profession at all, but I got called for Jury Duty at a time when I was in a different part of the country looking after both parents who had had operations at the same time. I wrote a reply letter, asking if it could be postponed for 5-6 weeks, but they just excused me, and never heard anything more about it.
