Can social services split a 15 year old and newborn sibling up?
My partner is trying to get his 15 year old son to live with us through social services, he used to live with his mum but now living with his grandparents at the moment.
I'm pregnant with a little boy, social services have told me to leave my partner before the baby is born or they will take my little boy.
If my partner does manage to get his 15 year old, would there be more chance of keeping our family together? me, my partner, his son and our newborn.

Why have social services told you to leave your husband? That would usually only be advised if your partner if violent/dangerous either now or with a significant past history.

It’s impossible to answer without knowing the background.
Why have you been told to leave your partner?

Sorry partner not husband managed to misread OP

Choose your child leave

If you've been told to leave your partner in those circumstances, I'd say there is zero chance of him having his 15 year old to live with him.

Why do they want you to leave him?

If you've been told to leave your partner I'd say the chance of him gaining custody of the 15 year old is zero

Is it the boy that is a threat?

sounds like you only want the 15year old back to keep your son.

If SS has said they will take your son if you dont leave your partner why are you still there?

Presumably there is a reason that SS think your partner is not a suitable adult to be living with a baby. that will not change if another person moves in. Only if you and the baby or your partner moves out.

I would have thought that that reason would probably also prevent the 15 year old from being moved back in (the fact he lives with the grandparents and SS are involved leads me to believe there is a reason that there is probably a reason he is not with his dad).

No. Your baby will be taken away unless you leave him.
Leave him

Why are SS telling you to leave your partner? What is the backstory here?

I want his son to live with us. I get along quite well with him.

I will obviously leave my partner if there nothing I can do to stop this, I just wanted to try everything I can to keep my family together.

Also my partner used to live with his mum and dad ( his son grandparents ) and they was fine with that

They are very very unlikely to let his 15 year old live with you if they’re telling you to leave him. He must have behaved pretty awfully.

Leave. You must prove that in all circumstances you are putting your child first.

But to answer your question I don’t think splitting them would be of concern to social services especially as they have different mothers and would typically be living in different houses.

Why are they saying that?

If you’ve been told to leave your partner there is no way they will help for another child to live there. It would also be very distressing for the 15 year old.

If the risk to the new born baby is greater than the risk yo the 15yo boy than yes.

Social services wouldn't have said that unless he posed a risk so I'd suggest not allowing him to live with the baby

There is lots you are not telling us.

OP your baby needs you. Put them first.

Why do you have to leave him? What has he done?

Why are social services advising you to leave your partner? It's impossible to attempt to give any advice without having the full picture here.

why would they tell you to leave your husband ?

Perhaps instead of trying to find ways to keep your “family” together you need to take a step back and consider why social service are saying what They are because they wouldn’t do that without good reason.

Whatever you do don’t let the 15 year old become a pawn in some sort of game!

Of course they will. Siblings are separated all the time. There is a serious reason why they have asked you to leave him. He is either a risk to you, your baby, or both. Why haven't you left?
