 I have to be honest with you and say you dont have much evidence of anything other than a close friendship here. My main feeling is that you should only be concerned if you spot signs that your Mum and Dad's relationship is rocky; are they fighting or closing themselves off alot so you cant see them fight?? If there are signs of that then I would be inclined to be slightly more worried because he might be seeking solace.
Is he spending alot of time at this friends? More than at home?
I am not sure you have an awful lot to worry about just going on this; people can form close friendships without their existing relationships falling apart. Hope that helps :)x

 This is a horrible situation for you to be in you will obviously be worrying about it and i wonder how your friend feels.
I think you need to let your Dad know that you have noticed he is getting a little bit close to your friends Mum and your friend could do the same to her Mum. It may be totally innocent but intuition is a wonderful think and if you are feeling things are not quite right then i would be comfortable in saying that you are probably right.
If you don't feel at ease talking to your Dad about how you feel maybe make some lighthearted comment which he can pick up on letting him know you have noticed something is brewing with your friends Mum if he does then initiate a conversation on the subject tell him your worries. Just knowing you are worrying may bring him to his senses.
You never said if he is seeing her at school or out locally or even visiting her home but take notice if he becomes alot more secretive maybe with his mobile phone or is popping out alot more often.
You really shouldn't be worrying about things like this and i am not sure if i should advise you to speak to your Mum about it as it may be nothing at all but if it is it could make things a whole lot worse so i think your Dad is the one you need to speak to first.
Good luck i hope it's sorted out soon x
