The Leave the Door Open star filed for the dissolution of his marriage to his wife of 12 years in the Los Angeles Court. The singer-songwriter has also asked for joint legal and physical custody of their two minor children, sons Soul Rasheed and Shine Tariq, 13 and 6 respectively. 

In the legal filings obtained by TMZ, Anderson Paak states the date of separation between the couple as TBD, hinting that the husband and wife could have been parted for a while now, given how the singer does not even remember the actual date of them deciding to call it quits. 

Anderson Paak is also unwilling to offer any spousal support for his soon-to-be ex-wife, Jae Lin. In his divorce filing, the Grammy Award-winning artist has asked the court to terminate its ability to grant any spousal support to his ex-wife. Something seems to have gone terribly wrong in their happy, away-from-the-limelight marriage of 12 years.
