No, it must be split according to what each of you actually paid. The tax code allows the person who actually paid the mortgage interest and property taxes to take the deduction for the amount that person actually paid. If (s)he did not pay 100% of the mortgage interest and property taxes, (s)he can not deduct 100% of the mortgage interest and property taxes.
