I'm pretty sure you can't get legal aid for divorce in England, only Scotland.

Unless there is a reported history of domestic abuse, there is no legal aid unfortunately. I had to self rep my way through divorce/finances and now children's matters. You can try and get through to Rights of Women but my God it's hard.

Hi OP, it is probably worth enquiring if you have records of this. I would call Resolution in the morning and have a chat with them. They should be able to point you in the right direction.

Also, you could try Women's Aid and your local CAB.

Good luck
