Until they have a final decree of divorce or a decree of separate maintenance, they are still considered married.
If they did not live together at all during the last six months of the year, they can be considered unmarried only for the purpose of determining whether either spouse is eligible to file as head of household. Otherwise, they may file jointly or separately, but not as single.
