Head of household.

As an unmarried parent who is supporting her children and maintaining a home for them, Monique would generally qualify for the head-of-household filing status, which gives a higher standard deduction and more favorable tax brackets than filing as single. (She must have paid more than half the cost of keeping up the home and have qualifying dependents who lived with her for the required period.)
