Well stated by @NCperson .
if you are legally married, you can’t use head of household status unless you are “considered unmarried“ due to actual physical separation for at least 6 months. The IRS can’t read your mind about the emotional status of your marriage, but they can look at where you and your spouse physically spend your time.
Then even if you can show that you are actually physically separated for the required length of time, each spouse would have to have actual physical custody of a different child dependent in order for that child to be a qualifying person for head of household status.
