If your best friend really is your best friend, then she will feel your sympathy for the divorce and realize that your mom is the best choice to go and live with because she is more responsible.
You and your friend can still stay in touch. Although, you will most likely go to different schools, email, IM, letters, or the phone make a difference in a relationship. [ szczepanski94's advice column | Ask szczepanski94 A Question ]

Since your Mum is going to offer you a more stable environment then you would be better off going with her. When you're young, you need to have as much of a stable environment as possible and she will be able to offer you that.
As far as your best friend goes, she will be very upset if you do move but since it's not finalised yet, I wouldn't tell her right now because there's no need to worry her unduly. Wait until the whole thing is sorted out and you know that you definitely are going. Then tell her and promise to write/phone/e-mail and stay in touch.

I think you should move with your mom because you know that is your safest and most comfortable bet. And you mentioned that Milford and South Lyon are 20 minutes apart? That isn't very long, so I don't see why your best friend should start getting so upset because things could be worse.
