Moving house - court order contact

I will need to move house in around a year.

Child 1 CMS maintenance will end.
Child 2 is nearly 14 and under Court Order contact every other weekend and an evening during the week.

I can't afford my rented house any longer after that. Child 2 will be 15 when I have to move.

I could possibly afford to buy a house, but unlikely in the area I live now. Maybe up to 40 mins away.
Renting is not an option, no houses available nearby (rural / small town).
I could possibly live with a relative 35 mins away if I can't buy a house.
Child 2 will have to move mid GCSEs (I can't avoid this, have no other options)

Ex-h will take it to prohibited steps unless I apply for an order to vary first. Will court allow me to move away with child 2 due to affording housing? Can I be made to stay renting if I can't afford it?!

Can't afford solicitor, can't get legal aid, can't get through to Rights of Women advice line!

Thanks

I drove dc to school 40 mins away when necessary... Commuting to a decent school is somewhat normal surely?
Dc used trains when going back /forward seeing friends in each town also. I wasn't a full time driver!
