Filing Status

Hi - My husband and I have lived separately for about 9 months. I would file for Legal Separation if I could serve him papers, but he is in Thailand somewhere. I recently gave birth to our son in 2020 and I have not personally worked during 2020 so I have no income to report. However, I do not trust my husband and I do not want to file as married filing jointly! Can I file married filing separately with no income to report? Or tell him that he has to file as married filing separately?
