If I was divorced in July 2019, and bought a new home then, do I only claim half of my previous home's 2019 interest, and full interest for my new home?

What does it specify in your final divorce decree, how jointly owned property is to be split? That's the "bible" for this.

you claim what you were liable for and paid for mortgage interest, taxes, state taxes till the point you were legallly separated or divorced. (Some people even when legally separated can start filing single or head of household).

Here is a great link prepared by turbotax to peruse.

All the best.
