Should I file separately from my wife because we have three kids to claim? I was thinking we may earn more for the tax credits that way.

No, you should not. A married separate return is not eligible for child related credits or education credits or many others, and the tax rat is higher. If you live together, neither of you would qualify to file as Head of Household.
