If you are married on December 31, 2014 then for tax purposed, you are married and should file married filing jointly or married filing seperately. These are your two choices if you are legally married. If you have been legally seperated for at least the last six month of the tax year and you have legal seperation papers from a judge, then you can file as if you were single. Both of you need to make sure you file the same way if you are filing in this manner.

You are a British citizen your wife is a Filipino citizen you got married in the Philippines after 2.5 years of marriage and 6 months of separation can you file a divorce in HongKong?
I dont think you can file a divorce case in Hongkong because both of you are not citizens of Hongkong. I suggest you file an annulment case in the Philippines. There is no divorce in the Philippines but annulment has the same effect as divorce. Your marriage will be declared null and void from the beginning. It will take 3 months to finish. the costs would be 200k more or less.

Did beoncye have her baby?
I'm really not sure, but I think she didn't. Think about it...When did she get pregnant? Then count the months from that date, and see if it has been 9 months. If it has been more than 9 months, she definately had the baby! If it has been 8 months, or less, that means she didn't. Soo, you sort of have to do math.When did she get pregnant?How many months has she been pregnant?Do the math.Think about it.
