Hi, Im also in England (and happily married to my moroccan for many years). The reason you will have been refused would have been the access to public funds - unless you work and have savings, they will not give you the visa. My husband interviewed in English and was approved straight away, so I doubt that was the real reason for your refusal. You would need to come off the public funds (working tax credit is the only one I think they accept) before they will grant the visa. I know this doesnt help your situation, but I hope it goes some way to explain why you were denied. You can however get a divorce here in the UK by the usual route if you wish to go that route. It takes a bit more work and a bit more £££ to process because of the international law element, and you would still need grounds as per a regular divorce (abandonment, unreasonable behaviour etc) but there is no need to return to Morocco to file your divorce. Good luck. :)
