Did you file a joint federal return? If you did, VA requires you to file your VA return either jointly, or by using VA's special Filing Status 4, "Filing Separately on a Combined Return."
If you filed a joint federal return, VA does not permit you to file as "Married, Filing a Separate Return."
You'll find the details on VA's requirements here:
