I am married to a foreigner. I have 2 kids but they are all living abroad. My kids are US citizen and my husband do not work as well. Can I file as a head of household as I support them financially? What filing status should I do? Can I claim child tax credit for my kids?

@alflood from your post I assume that (a) you are citizen; (b) your children are born abroad; (c) your husband is a non-resident alien , living with you ; (d) your husband has no income ( world income );
Need to know 1. which country are you residing in ; 2. Is your husband a citizen of this country; 3. are the children living with you ; 4. how long have been in this foreign country or away from the USA; 5. Is this your first year of filing ( from abroad ) or how did you file in 2017; 6 . age of the children; 6. Has your husband been to the USA before -- in the last three years ??
