Mother Could Keep Primary Physical Custody in Move from Roanoke to Bluefield

In the case of Seamans v. McClure, the Roanoke Circuit Court held that a mother could keep primary custody of 9 year old child in 100 mile move from Roanoke to Bluefield where child has strong bond with dad, mom’s financial situation will improve and father’s interests were more self serving.  Court specifically held this was not a relocation case.
