I will be receiving half of my husband's 401K due to divorce which will be final in July 2019. When I file taxes for 2019, will whatever amount I actually withdraw (instead of rolling it over) be considered taxable income?

Yes.
Although division of assets is not normally taxable in a divorce, money in a qualified plan is always taxable when it is withdrawn, because it was never taxed when it was contributed/deposited. Any amount you don't roll over will be taxable income to you.

if withdrawn before you are 59 1/2 there is a 10% penalty. but there are qualifying exceptions.
