Can we file federal "married filing jointly" and states "married filing separately"?

My husband and I own a home in Alabama, where he and our kids live. I work in Georgia and rent an apartment there since I live there 5 days a week.  We have already filed federal taxes as "married filing jointly" using the Alabama address.

Can we file our state taxes  "married filing separately" with me claiming Georgia and him claiming Alabama?
