The fact that your husband is being represented by Legal Aid should not have a bearing upon service of process. Legal Aid exists in most jurisdictions and is a means of delivering legal services to persons who qualify by income (in that they have insufficient funds to hire private counsel).
Sometimes, when one qualifies for legal aid representation, they also meet the financial requirements by which to qualify to proceed with their lawsuit "in forma pauperius". This essentially means that the court will waive the filing fee that is normally required to commence the lawsuit, and that other costs (such as service of process) will also be waived.
All of that said, the need for service of process remains. Service of process is the means by which the court assumes jurisdiction over you (personal jurisdiction) and over the matter in controversy (subject-matter jurisdiction-in this case, the marriage and matters/issues pertaining to it).
