Children that can speak for themselves have a lot of say in the courts as to where they want to live. It's best to sit down with both your parents and express your feelings and tell them why you want to either live with your father or your mother. Don't forget ... they are your parents, so you are going to hurt one of them by doing so, but it's important you live with who you feel the most comfortable with. Also, if you don't want to live with either parent you don't have to live with either one of them if it goes to court and if your grandparents were willing to look after you that can be taken into consideration in the courts.

In the US we have freedom of speech. They can say anything they want to. However, their saying it isn't going to change the laws. A judge might consider their wishes in granting custody.
