You should be able to secure residence at the point of divorce, if she is exercising treaty rights, and ready to help you with evidence of that.

Thanks for quick reply obie I have got her payslips and p60,s until last year but I do not think she will help me in the future but I know exactly where she works what other option do I have if she does not help me?

Probably leave UK, or get the Tax office, or request it as part of the divorce Ancillary relief application.

Thanks obie.Can tax office help me with her payslips as I know exactly employer name and address?

Well they can't without her consent, they are bound by DPA.

You may be able to get the courts assistance if the matter went to court.

Ok Obie Thanks very much for your help.how about if she leave work before the divorce finalised or it would not be matter by than because I think divorce will still take few more months.

fyi - this HO guidance shows the approach a caseworker can take when evidence is incomplete/unavailable:
