If you are in a community property state, you have to split it 50/50. If you are not in a community property state, you can allocate it any way you like. As for the how to "specify" just enter the amount each of you taking for the mortgage interest deduction in your return. Since your mortgage is below the $750,000 threshold, I would skip the program calculations and just enter the amount you are claiming.
