I have clients who separated in july 2020. After I uncouple their returns, she still has a caregiver amount on hers for him. Why is this?

You can claim spousal amounts (including caregiver amount) if you supported the spouse at any time during the year and their income was low enough.  It does not have to be for the entire year.
