If you were still married on the last day of the tax year, you can choose "married filing separately" whether or not you are going through a divorce.

Tax hint: If your spouse did not live with you at all during the last six months of the year (and it was not a temporary absence) and you have the appropriate dependent living with you, you could be eligible to file as head of household which gets you a much better tax treatment. Check the rules for Head of Household to see if you qualify.
