Without more facts, it is impossible to answer this with any degree of certainty. For example, it is impossible to state whether or not the employer is covered and whether or not the employee is eligible for FMLA leave. However, with regards to whether this is a qualifying condition, it seems likely that it is, depending in part on the age of the daughter.
