Testifying in court is for when a older teen is in a custody battle between the parents and have the opportunity to say who he would prefer to live with. This does not include grandparents. And not all states let a teen speak in court. You can choose the grandparents when you are of legal age, usually 18.

You live in Illinois what age can a child decide which parent they want to live with?

Only Indiana and Texas has laws setting out a specific age at which a child can make a choice the court is requiredto abide by, and even than there are some limitations. With those states, it is age 14. In all other states, the general rule of thumb is that a 12 year old can express and opinion, however the judge is under not legal obligation to consider, or even hear it. In either case, a motion to the court must be filed for a determination to be made. However, the child should be informed that there are alternatives to choosing to live with just one parent. The child should also be advised they can express a choice that they remain in one home and each parent can live with them for a designated period of time, than switch. This is called Bird Nest Custody.Check link below for more info.
