RI requires that you use the same filing status as the federal. KY will allow the MFS.
KY law states:
If spouses file a joint federal return, but do not file a joint KY return, each spouse must claim his or her own income and deductions.
In my search of legal guidance, I don't see where the law states how to handle dependents on a MFS return. See Kentucky Department of Revenue & Legal Guidance. This leads me to believe you could claim all dependents on the return.
