Marvin Gaye III Files For Divorce

Back in January the son of R&B singer Marvin Gaye was arrested on domestic violence charges after attacking his wife and a female cousin and pointing a gun at them [click here if you missed that]. 

Now Marvin III has filed for divorce...

From TMZ 

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Marvin Gaye's son beelined it to court Wednesday and filed to divorce his wife Wendy Gaye.

Marvin III lists the date of separation as Jan. 12, which is interesting ... because it's the same date as his domestic violence arrest.

Marvin III is going with the usual "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split ... and he's asking to block the court's ability to award Wendy spousal support. They did not have any children.

Marvin III doesn't specify the date of marriage ... in the docs, he just put TBD.
