I'll make it easy for you. Why have you also posted the following :?:
"Good Afternoon I am aware of all the documents required which I have in my possession. As well as carers allowance I am earning extra £85 a week part time. To apply for my husband from Pakistan. All I need to know is please advise will the carers allowance letter do or do I have to contact them for more evidence by DSS to forward with the new application ? Thank You "

Because that is for someone different.

In which case they should register on the forum under their own user name and post their own questions.

Please don't use the words "I" nor "my", etc., if you are asking for someone different.

I don't think that you may apply for ILR directly, if you have no leave.

Start with FLR(FP), 10 year partner route? Subsequently, switch to 5-year route when eligible.

Unless you wish to apply for a spouse visa from outside the UK?

Having a British child should help.

The 14 year Long Residence pathway to ILR was closed in July 2012.

It was replaced by a 20 year Long Residence pathway to FLR(FP), which require a further 10 years of legal residence to get to ILR.

As Vinny has suggested, you should start by either applying for an FLR(FP) within the UK and then switching to an FLR(M) or you could apply directly for a spouse visa from outside the UK ( in both cases, assuming that your British spouse meets the £18,600 annual salary requirement).

Once you have completed five years of residence under a spouse visa or ten years under FLR(FP), you will then be eligible for ILR.

You will only be eligible for naturalisation as a British citizen ten years after your illegal residence has ended.

Are you legally divorced from your first husband?
