Its generally better to continue to file Married Jointly if possible. If the split was not amicable and Joint filing isn't an option, your only other choice is Filing Married Separate.
If you didn't live with your spouse for the last 6 months of the year, but you did have a qualifying child that lived with you, you may qualify to use the Head of Household filing status.
