Heading: custody of will rutledge

Text: The propriety of changing the custody of Will is governed by precisely the same consideration as in the case of Bridgforth. The chancellor held that Allie's proposed move to Jackson would not constitute a material change of circumstances adversely affecting either child. Therefore, he had no basis for depriving the father of custody and his dismissal of Allie's petition for a change of custody of Will was correct. Because we are reversing on the custody issue, it is not necessary to discuss the other assignments of error. The chancellor's decree is affirmed as to the dismissal of Mrs. Rutledge's cross-petition, but reversed as to the original petition of Mr. Rutledge. AFFIRMED IN PART, REVERSED IN PART AND RENDERED. PATTERSON, C.J., WALKER and ROY NOBLE LEE, P.JJ., and HAWKINS, DAN M. LEE, PRATHER, ROBERTSON and SULLIVAN, JJ., concur.
