I'm very sorry to hear about your situation.
There is a free phone line you can use to get advice, or just to talk to someone experienced in such things. (There doesn't need to have been actual physical violence involved).
Here is the website:

Your other questions I can't really help with, but you are NOT alone and there IS lots of free help available to you and your baby...no matter what your immigration status.
Ingat.
