Correct, if your only income was less than $2,500, then no, you do not qualify for the Child Tax Credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit.

Did you work?  If so, then if your combined income is more than $2,500, then you would possibly qualify for the ACTC or CTC.  

If you lived in the same household as your spouse for any part of the last 6 months of the year, he cannot file as Head of household.  His options are married filing jointly and married filing separately

Can you provide more details about the situation?  Why are you not filing jointly?  Do you work?  Do you live together?
