When I turned 18 I started filing taxes with my husband. We filed 2015, 2016 and we separated right when we had to file for 2017. He wouldn't give me any of my mail, and said he wasn't filing for me. I didn't know how to do it, and didn't have my w2's so I didn't file. Then, it comes time to file for 2018 and I didn't know if he had claimed me so I didn't know if I could file due to not having filed last year. Shortly, the first stimulus checks came out, and I went online to the non filer, and when I claimed it, they gave me an error saying someone had already claimed me and received my payment. I contacted my husband and he denied everything. I work with property management and had connection with someone who works for the IRS and could give me some details and she told me that the person who received my stimulus check filed on turbotax, so I knew it was him and he was just denying it. Now we are divorced and I want to file for 2020, but I don't know if I have to go ahead and file for the previous years? I have tried to get some of my w2s from previous jobs and they have been extremely difficult, some places have even changed owners or shut down. I need help, I had 2 jobs last year and I am ready to file for this coming year but I am not sure what I need to do first? Can I just go ahead and file or do I have to file the previous years first?

You need to file the years that have not been filed.
As for your ex-husband taking your stimulus, follow these steps:
