You do not have to file a joint tax return if you are married. Each year you may elect to file separate or joint. If you file separate, the children you have can only be claimed by one spuse, but the children may be split between the two returns if you choose. Other things like mortgage interest paid can only be claimed by one spuuse. By filing separate you will generally owe and pay more taxes than filing Joint.
