They will need to confirm you have legal custody of your child and that the marriage lasted a few years and that your husband was employed while in the UK. 


Book an appointment with the local Citizens Advice, the passport agency should be able to find out the ex status provided nothing legal is currently open.

No worries probably take a while to get a citizens advice appointment near Christmas. But phone and email them regarding an appointment or if it's local pop in.
