The answer to your question is within your question.You would file SEPARATE TAX FORMS.A still married couple, regardless of any other consideration, always has the choice to file jointly or individually for Federal tax purposes.Most states have similar laws.Which you choose depends on your circumstances, just as it does when you live together.
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.
