Hi @podturner!
Because the divorce was finalized in 2022, you no longer have the option to file jointly, regardless of the Judgement of Divorce.
In the year that your divorce decree becomes final you lose the option to file as married joint or married separate.
Do you have any dependents? One or both of you may be able to file as Head of Household (and get the benefit of a bigger standard deduction and gentler tax brackets), if you had a dependent living with you for more than half the year, and you paid for more than half of the upkeep for your home.
