If my divorce was final on December 1st, can I still file as Married Filing Joint?

I’m so confused; what is my filing status?

NO. Generally your filing status is determined as of the last day of the tax year

No, you can not file married if you are single. Your status is determined by your married status as of 31 Dec.

Do you have a different question?
