Break Up & Divorce

Why did legal aid deny me to divorce? How can I divorce from a toxic relationship?

I’m married but no longer with that person since few months now. I live alone and we lie like single people. I have no contact with him , deleted his number, I have that person gone from my life. Except I can’t live my new life as I’m stuck with his last name on all my documents and ID. 😞 I wanted begin divroce June but I had phone appointments with legal aid since June to September and wasted time there. Mom advised me call legal aid as it’s cheap there but I got denied divorce as I answered no on the 30 questions they asked of voilence or abuse and about me moving out. Legal aid only helps people with domestic voilence? We don’t have abuse like beating but he’s controlling and relationship was toxic fighting daily I would be miserable so moved out. I don't know if this all counts as verbal abuse but I made mistake said no to verbal abuse when they asked me. I don't know if I should file for irreconcilable differences or what I need help I don't know what word you use for toxic relationship. He’s so controlling he’ll do anything in his power to not divorce and keep green card too. I will file to divorce til nov 1st as I’m saving the $435 fee to divorce. I don't know if I’ll be accepted to waive the fee. I have no proof relationship was toxic it’s just in vivid memory in my head. Any suggestions?
