If it went to court (custody), do there courts consider where the parents "intend" on living after the separation?
IE: If my wife intends on moving 10 hours away, will the courts prevent this or will I have to accomidate?

she will most likely be barred from doing so
hopefully you have retained the services of a father's rights attorney
The courts will seek to preserve a relationship with both parents. Her moving that far away would create an undue burden on all concerned.

You should speak with an attorney immediately. Nothing prevents her from moving today if she wants to.
If she has voiced an intent to move 10 hours away, I would consider that sufficient reason to file for legal separation and secure shared custody.
The separation agreement can state how far the two of you may live apart.
It's a lot easier to keep her close now that it will be to get her to move back after someone files. You also would keep court proceedings in your back yard rather than having to travel to where she is should she file elsewhere.
