I become unemployed in May 2016 and negotiated with my ex-wife to pick my dependent son on her health insurance. How do I file 1095-B in this case?

I became unemployed in May 2016 and convinced my ex-wife to pick up my son (whom I am claiming as a dependent) on her health insurance while I remained covered all year by my own plan.  He is shown on my 1095-B as only being covered part of the year, but was covered by my plan or her plan the whole year.  I do not see unemployment as a qualifying hardship in the TurboTax guidance.  Will I be penalized?  How can I show he was coverage by a health plan for the whole year?
