The spacing issue is caused by the fact that there are three different kinds of math symbols: binary operations (e.g. + and times, binary relations (e.g. < and leq) and ordinary characters (e.g. ! and infty). Each has its own spacing. Relations typically have the largest, slightly more than operations and significantly more than ordinary characters. Operation spacing uses mathbin, relation spacing uses mathrel, and ordinary character spacing can use (or nothing if it's already an ordinary character). These are illustrated in the following table:

Since "divides" is a relation, the correct spacing is given by mathrel, which is the default for mid. The negated relation, as suggested in the comments by @egreg is given by the command nmid. Notice that the spacing is identical to mid.

nmid uses the amssymb package.

Here is the code to produce the above table:

documentclassarticle

usepackageamssymb

begindocument

begintabularll
$avert b$ & verb`$avert b$`\
$a|b$ & verb`$a|b$`\
$amathbinb$ & verb`$amathbinb$`\
$amathrelb$ & verb`$amathrelb$`\
$amid b$ & verb`$amid b$`\
$anmid b$ & verb`$anmid b$`
endtabular
