Voltage dividers are used in a linear circuit to separate the input voltage into a small portion known as the output voltage. It is commonly used to get a low voltage signal equal to the voltage being measured.

Possibly it is a capacitive voltage divider that can be used in order to divide a high AC voltage with an isolated (there is no common electrical rail between high voltage and low voltage circuitry) circuit.

Can Voltage dividers can provide only positive output voltages?

Voltage dividers can provide anything between VCC (the most positive voltage in the circuit) and VSS (the most negative voltage in the circuit). For example, if VCC =0 and VSS = -15, then the output voltage has to be negative. ========================

What should the current be through a bleeder resister in a voltage divider circuit?

The current should be high enough to maintain the voltage at each division. Generally, the current should be ten times the load current or the voltage will be across the voltage divider. If possible use regulators or zeners or regular diodes. I'm not saying dividers are bad but there are less current sensitive solutions.
