The Florida Supreme Court Thursday issued an order retroactively suspending North Miami Beach attorney Madsen Marcellus Jr. for 18 months.

Marcellus’ suspension stems from court proceedings during his divorce from his ex-wife Kellie Peterson Gudger. Marcellus failed to comply with court orders mandating he refinance or resell the marital home during divorce proceedings, according to court filings in his ethics case. He also failed to respond to several discovery requests, nearly leading to him being held in contempt of court during the family law proceedings in 2013.
