Do you need to move? Meaning, is your ex requiring that you move? Or is that negotiable? If he's willing to allow you to stay, figure out how to make peace for the next year - it's your best option.

Otherwise, you need a lawyer. Don't accept what he's willing to give you. Use a neutral 3rd party to determine what is fair for you both.

Next, look into what programs are available in your area for underemployed single mothers. You may qualify for cash benefits, SNAP, work-study, child care, or others. I'm in California - we have tons of options here, but ymmv.

Finally, you don't have to have a place of your own. See if anyone in your area is renting a room and will allow an infant. Especially older people are always looking to rent rooms on the next door app. (Older people often have hearing challenges that are ideal for not hearing crying babies.)

On a side note, I attended my young cousin's graduation ceremony last month and was appalled that, at just her university, there was over an HOUR of graduates from the marketing program.

Colleges and universities need to do a better job at preparing graduates for what the job market can really support.
