Deductions & credits

Yes, it sounds like each spouse will deduct the actual paid, presuming divorce happened after 4 months and then payments were related to individual home use. Typically mortgage interest for community property states is split, but federal standard rules are that you can only deduct amounts you actually paid, so it actually works out easily in this situation. Be sure the total mortgage interest deducted on both of your returns is not greater than the mortgage interest paid.
