Since you are just roommates, and you are splitting the cost of the bills 50/50, assuming you are providing for your own children (you are buying your kids clothes, they are buying their kids clothes) then you would be two separate homes for tax purposes. You both could claim head of household in this situation.
If one of you is providing the majority of support for everyone, then only that person could claim head of household.
