If Separated all 2017 has 30yr old child lived in my home, no income, no student, no disability, both parents supported can I give 8332 to husband and still file HOH?

No, you could not.  Given the circumstances, your child would be claimed as a Qualifying Relative dependent type and not a Qualifying Child.  Such a dependent needs to live with you all year,with only specific exceptions, but the person claiming them has to also provide more than 1/2 the dependent's support for the year.  Since he lived with you, you provided his housing, utilities, etc., so the other parent cannot claim him.
