If so, do we divide in half for each return?

No, only one of you can claim the child.

You should each claim the dollar amount of mortgage insurance and property tax you actually paid.

If the payments were made out of a joint account, you can divide the expenses as you agree.

Keep in mid that if one of you itemizes deductions, so must the other.
