I have been trying to kill this weed for months to no avail. I have used spray weed killers that are safe on lawns, but they haven't worked.

The big problem is the roots are all interconnected underground and very fragile. I try pulling them out and they break off at which point new leaves pop up either in the flower garden or the lawn. Nothing seems to block this weed and I can't figure out how to kill it. Any help is appreciated.

Dock has a very deep tap root, almost like a carrot. You need to actually dig it up and get ALL the root. Don't allow any of the seeds to fall off because millions of plants will grow. And if you allow a piece of root to stay in the soil, it will grow a new plant. Dock is toxic and should not be fed.
