Head of Household post Divorce

I am confused regarding my ability to file as HOH in 2020. My ex-wife and I were living under the same roof with our 5 year old son thru August 2020 while we went through quarantine and mediation. I then moved to an apartment and later a house (in November) while retaining 50/50 custody of our son. Our divorce was finalized in mid-November 2020. Per our parenting agreement we are claiming our son as a dependent on alternating years. She is claiming him as a dependent for 2020.

 

Am I ok filing as HOH in 2020?
