Hi. If you're currently unmarried and if you've never collected benefits on your father's Social Security record in the past, then you may be eligible for disabled adult child's (DAC) benefits. There isn't enough information in your question for me to be able to know if you would meet the requirements, but you can make an appointment to apply by calling Social Security. There probably wouldn't be any point in applying before your divorce is final, though, since being unmarried is one of the requirements for DAC benefits (https://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/handbook/handbook.03/handbook-0323.html).
Best, Jerry
