You each file as single, unless one of you can file as Head of Household with a qualifying dependent.  Your filing status is determined by your marital status as of December 31, 2016.  Since you were divorced and no longer married, your filing status is single (or Head of Household).  See this FAQ:  https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/4791157
