Separate filing almost always results in higher taxes or lower refunds because many deductions and credits are reduced or disallowed. But exactly how it affects you can't be answered without testing.
The alternative is to file jointly and include an Injured Spouse Allocation form. This is a request to the IRS to pay your share of a refund even though it is a joint return and your husband has debts. The form is under "Other tax situations."
