Re: legal seperation and taxes
You do not have to file jointly with your husband. You can file "married filing separately".
I am unsure if someone else can claim you as a dependent. Go back to lawguru.com and post the question a tax attorney. They would likely know much more than a family law attorney such as myself.
Good luck.
