1) If you do not go after what you want, you will never have it
2) If you don't ask, the answer will always be no.
3) If you do not step forward, you'll always be in the same place

I don't know about other places, but in the UK, if you're unemployed, you should be entitled to legal aid. Without knowing where you live sis, it's difficult for me to suggest where to go for help. If you're in the UK, you can visit CAB (citizens advice bureau). They can definitely give you the best advice. All the best sister.

Have some Good news for you sister
Islamically, u are already divorced as there is NO marriage to a disbeliever.
“They are not lawful (wives) for the disbelievers nor are the disbelievers lawful (husbands) for them” [al-Mumtahanah 60:10]
Therefore, when you accepted Islam and became a Muslim, your previous marriage was automatically annulled.
So In the eyes of the Islamic law, you will not be committing a sin if you re-marry to a Muslim man.
See this Fatwa also:
Question:
What is the ruling about remaining in a marriage when the wife has become a Muslim but her husband is still a kaafir?
Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
As soon as a woman embraces Islam and her husband refuses to do likewise, the marriage is annulled and it is not permissible for her to live with him. But she should wait out the length of the ‘iddah period. If he embraces Islam, she may go back to him and the previous marriage contract is still counted as valid, but if he does not embrace Islam before the ‘iddah is over, then they are no longer married. If he subsequently embraces Islam and they want to get back together, a new marriage contract must be drawn up.
