Should I let my son move to another part of the state

My wife and her boyfriend (yes were still married but going through a divorce) (he lives in another town 100 miles away) have talked to my children about moving to my wives boyfriends place. My daughter wants to stay here with me. But my son wants to go due to the school he will attend. Come to find out someone told and promised him certain things attending this school. This a a private catholic school with a very good sports program. (her boyfriend is one of the coaches). She will pay for the entire thing. My son expressed his wishes to me (he's 16) and would like to go. Should I let him? His grades are not very good in the public school and it will be harder for him in a private school. I really do not know what to do.  I have been very involved with my children.  I am the one that did the all the appointments, school functions, chaffering, etc.  Should I let my son go or could I be feeling some separation anxiety?

This is a tough situation but if your son wants to go you should let him. As long as you feel comfortable that the boyfriend is a good person and is putting your son's interest first.  Maybe the private school will be good for him, I am sure it has smaller classes, extra help if he needs it plus sports if that is what he is interested in.  Let your son know you love him and will miss him but trust his decision.  Good Luck, keep me posted.
