It depends on whether your divorce decree addressed that issue.

Most divorce decrees stipulate that the parties file their federal income taxes separately for the following year. You would need to review the divorce decree that was signed in your divorce to determine whether or not you are entitled to anything on that basis. I recommend a consultation with a local attorney to be on the safe side and get specific advice for your situation.

For 2014, no. You must be married on December 31, 2014, to jointly file for the tax year 2014.

Did you file a joint tax return? Was the refund addressed in the final Decree? The answers to those questions will determine whether you are entitled to anything.

That depends on what was in your Settlement Agreement and/or Final Judgment Order. Check it out and good luck.

That would depend upon the provisions of your judgment. I would speak with your divorce attorney or engage an attorney to review your judgment to get a valid opinion.
