According to your schematic VGS can be up to 20V. If you are only making a few of these, don't worry. If you are going to manufacture these for sale, put a suitable zener diode such as a 1N5246B from the gate to source to clip the VGS to about 16 volts. Check to assure that R_gate's power dissipation does not exceed more than about 70% of
R_gate's rated power
The reason the voltage rises so high is because the motor acts like a transformer. So consider changing the common connection of the controller ICs. OR, connect the common in the motor to the common in the control circuits.
