I think it might be easier to more to Italy first, even if only for a short while. Applying from Italy would be a lot easier. And if you are eligible for unemployment benefits in Italy, you can even transfer these to the UK for 3 months.
1. What paperwork should we fill in?
You don't need anything, but your husband needs to apply for an EEA Family Permit at the local British consulate. The form is VAF1. Usually this application would be decided under European law, but since you apply from outside of the EU, the British immigration rules also have a part in this.
2. Since we are living overseas, non of us have jobs or income in the UK. How does this affect the paperwork?
That is pretty normal. It would be preferable if you already had a job in the UK that you can come to, but that is not necessary. You just need to demonstrate that you are looking for a job, have a reasonable chance of finding one, and that you have enough money for the mean time.
3.Should this paper work be filled in by us or is its recommended to use an inmigration lawyer. Any advice lawyer firms?
Unless you have a lot of money, you probably want to do the application yourself. Basically you need to get all the documents together. You may want to ask an immigration lawyer if you are in any doubt about some details, or you can just post here.
