I'm not familiar with "paternity leave." Is that the same as the baby bonding - CFRA (California Family Rights Act)? If so, a new parent (mother or father) can take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave in a 12-month period to bond with their new child (from birth or adoption). There are conditions that have to be met for an employee to qualify for this leave such as the employee having more than 12 months of service and having worked at least 1,250 hours during the previous 12-month period. It is typically unpaid leave unless the employee used their vacation time to be paid. The CFRA leave only provides job protection, not payment. There is also FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act) that also provides 12 weeks of unpaid leave in a 12-month period for a mother that has given birth. This is also just job protection, not payment. I hope this helps.
Your HR representative should have the information about the state and federal laws around this.
Good luck.

from the website: www.paidfamilyleave.org
What is California's Paid Family Leave Program?
Workers who participate in the State Disability Insurance (SDI) Program are entitled to a maximum of six weeks of partial pay each year while taking time off from work to:
Bond with a newborn baby, adopted or foster child (both parents)
Care for a seriously ill parent, child, spouse or registered domestic partner
Most workers will receive approximately 55% of their pre-taxed weekly wage, up to a maximum of $882, while on leave.
The Paid Family Leave Program is administered by the State of California Employment Development Department (EDD) a state agency, not the employer.

This would fall under Federal Family Medical Leave Act allows up to 12 weeks of unpaid time for paternity leave. The state of California may have something in addition.

Start with the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). I believe that this allows you to take up to a year (unpaid) and your job has to hold your position. Anoteher option is short term disability insurance but you would have needed to be apart of this prior to the birth/adoption of the child. Hope this helps. Dana
