How did you file?  Did you file Joint?   If you were still married on Dec 31 you can file a joint return.   Sounds like you need to talk to your lawyer.

If you were still married at the end of 2021 you could file a joint return or you could file married filing separately.   But  you cannot file a joint return if your spouse did not agree to file that way.   Sounds like you both need to talk with your attorneys.
