I went through a divorce in 2018 in October, but I provided for my spouse up until August 20, 2018 how do I file my taxes now and can I claim him as a dependent?

You file using Single filing status, unless you have a child living with you and qualify for Head of Household.

You cannot claim your ex-spouse as a dependent. Since he is now unrelated, he would have had to live with you all year to be a dependent (in addition to the income and support rules).
