Generally Legal Aid doesn't have the funding to assist people with a divorce.

You are free to ask, so why not try?

Otherwise, you don't need a lawyer to do a pro se divorce these days.

The links provided by Army Judge should enable you to file for divorce without an attorney.

As part of the petition you can ask for possession of the residence and, if granted, the judge will order your spouse to leave.

Even if Legal Aid is not an option, you can try contacting law schools. Most have clinics which offer low cost or free legal services.
