You can only use the HOH filing status when you are still married and then only under very special circumstances.
You must meet all of the regular qualifications for Head of Household and, in addition, your spouse must not have lived in your home at any time during the last six months of the year. Temporary absences such as illness, business, or military service count as living in your home unless the spouse cannot be reasonably expected to return.

If you are considered married at the end of the year, you can never file single. If you don't want to file jointly with your spouse, you can choose "married filing separately."
