How do you know if you are entitled to legal aid?

You can use the legal aid calculator:

www.gov.uk/check-legal-aid

For family law cases (private law), legal aid is only usually available for those who have been victims of domestic violence (and have the required proof) and can also fulfil the strict financial criteria.

I've just seen in your other post that you own 4 houses, so I would think it's unlikely that you would be eligible for legal aid.
