I have been victim of domestic voilence. I am in refuge centre at the moment with my british born child. My child was born in UK when i was on dependent visa. My most recent leave to remain was dependent visa of tier 1 partner.
Partner got ILR recently and he applied flr m for me. After domestic voilence incident, partner withdrew flr m application and i am without any visa.
Can i apply for ILR DV

If your last visa was under PBS dependant visa then you cannot apply under the domestic abuse rules. That is not a specified route under the rules. The domestic violence guide says this about an ILR application:
The only people eligible to apply for ILR are those whose:
• first grant of leave was under paragraphs D-ECP.1.1, D-LTRP.1.1, D-LTRP.1.2, (other than as a partner of a person in the UK with limited leave, a fiancé or fiancée or proposed civil partner), or D-DVILR.1.2 of Appendix FM
• last grant of leave was under paragraph 276AD of the Immigration Rules or
• paragraphs 23, 26, 28 or 32 of Appendix Armed Forces
The domestic violence rules do not apply to:
• the spouse, unmarried partner or registered civil partner of a sponsor who has only limited leave to enter or remain in the UK
• fiancé or fiancées or proposed civil partners
• people seeking asylum in the UK
• the spouse or civil partner of a foreign or Commonwealth citizen who is serving, or has served, in Her Majesty’s (HM) forces and who has not completed a minimum of 4 years’ reckonable service
Individuals who have never had leave on one of the specified routes may be able to make an application on form FLR(FP) on the basis of their family and private life under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights or for leave outside the rules on form FLR (HRO) or FLR(IR).
I believe an FLR(FP) application is appropriate in your circumstances

There is destitution domestic violence (DDV) concession however it is only available to the people who came to the UK as partners. You also are still subject to 'no recourse to public funds' meaning you cannot claim any public fund benefits. However, as you have a child, you may be entitled to some form of help. I highly recommend contacting your local domestic abuse centre and seek their advice. Also, visit
https://www.turn2us.org.uk/Your-Situation/A-Migrant to see if you qualify for some form of help/grant.
