Teresa Guidice will not let her brother Joe Gorga and her sister-in-law Melissa Gorga take their children if (more like when) she and her husband Joe go to prison. And the New Jersey Housewife really means it after years of fighting with her sister-in-law.

Teresa can't bare her children being taken care of by  Melissa. It's bad enough that Teresa fears she's going to prison; she can't even imagine her precious children being brought up by the woman she despises the most. The two women have had their ups and down but on The RHONJ reunion it was clear that Teresa still dislikes Joe's wife Melissa, while Melissa only keeps the peace because Teresa is her childrens' cousins. 

RHONJ stars Teresa and Joe Giudice, accused of a whopping 39 counts of fraud, are starting to plan where their children will live if they both serve time behind bars. They plan to have their four children live with Joe Giudice's brother and NOT adoring aunt and uncle, Melissa and Joe Gorga. The fraud situation is very scary, and even if the children don't live with Melissa and Joe, the hope is that the Gorgas will remain in the childrens' lives. Soon enough things will change for the children and Teresa could use all the support she can get.

 Joe Giudice has confirmed to Andy Cohen On 'Watch What Happens Live' that if him and Teresa go to prison, their four daughters will be taken care of by Joe's brother, Pete Guidice. While Joe told Cohen the plans, Teresa nodded her head confirming that their four little girls will not go to Melissa and Joe.

Joe and Teresa Guidice will very likely serve jail time, considering how much evidence prosecutors have on them. On Watch What Happens Live, ex prosecutor Nancy Grace quipped that Teresa and Joe Guidice 'are going down!' The outspoen HLN host is sure that not only is Joe guilty, but his wife Teresa is just as much an accomplice in their financial schemes. We will find out the childrens' futures in February 2014 when Joe and Teresa will both testify in court.

Joe and Teresa Giudice seem to have been living in denial until now, going to parties and posting fun twitter pics for some time now. But on the Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion Teresa admits that she 'cries herself to sleep' and she is 'nervous for her family.' Though she doesn't think she deserves the fraud charges, Teresa is starting to see that jail time is a huge possibility.

Although Teresa thinks that she won't be going to jail because a judge 'couldn't possibly take four children away from their mother' the possiblity of jailtime for the Jersey Housewife is very possible. 

In case you didn't know, Teresa and her husband Joe Giudice are facing a multitude of very serious charges which can result in a 50 year prison sentence each.

Below is a summary of their charges:

1) Mail Fraud and Wire Fraud: The indictment states that between 2001-2008, using the U.S. mail, private carriers and wire communications, they defrauded 7 different banks and mortgage lenders.

2) Bank Fraud: The indictment states 5 banks were defrauded by submitting applications with false tax returns, pay stubs, and W-2s that gave false salaries and income. In total they stole $4.5 million from various banks.

3) Loan Application Fraud: For making false statements in those bank loan applications

4) Bankruptcy Fraud: Concealment, False Oaths, False Declarations. These are 22 different counts alone. In essence, they lied to the BK courts (under oath) about their finances and they knowingly filed false documents to conceal their income. That's perjury. Tre & Joe never withdrew their bankruptcy, the courts denied their petition on suspicion of fraud.

5) Failure to Make Tax Returns: These counts are all against Joe, and claim he didn't file tax returns from 2004-2008.

On Watch What Heppens Live Teresa adds that "I can't fall apart. I have my daughters. They mean the world to me." Teresa may look strong for her four girls but on the inside we can be sure she is falling apart. We hope the outcome is positive for teh sake of the children.
