My 38 yo son was divorced Jan 2018 and lives with me full time. I provide all room and board. Can I claim him as dependent and can he file his own tax return?

If you did not provide more than half of his support in 2018 or if he had income of more than $4,150 in 2018, then you cannot claim him as a dependent.

He can file his own tax return.
