It depends on which state you live in. If you live in a community property state, then yes, you may be able to file an injured spouse claim as the IRS will divide the refund based on state law. This could possibly be 50/50, but it depends on the state.
If you live in a non-community property state, then No, it would not do any good to file the injured spouse form as you do not have a refund that you are due. Since you have no taxable income, you would not be able to claim the children for a tax credit and you would not be eligible for any other type of refund.
