Shouldn't you have acquired permanent residency in 2009? If so then I believe that you do not need to apply for retention as you would be a permanent UK resident in your own right.

So, did you attain and obtain confirmation of your PR in 2009?

You need to fill out the EEA4 form and then write a letter with it, explaining that you are applying for a PR using your Right of Retention because you are divorced. Also you have to include the divorce certificate and all other document you are suppose to submit if you are applying using EEA4 except for your Ex passport.

Also you have to show proof that your Ex was excising her/his treaty right up to the date of your Decree Absolute.

Good luck.
