In 2013, Teresa was indicted on 39 federal fraud charges along with her husband Joe and even more, saw her 15 months of prison in 2015.

Even after that incident, her relationship with her (now ex) spouse was quite well, until her mother died of pneumonia on March 3, 2017. As reported, the RHONJ personality felt her husband deprived her of the time she could spend with her mother & never took responsibility for the charges that sent both to prison.

On November 7, 2019, following 20 years of marital relationship, she announced a split with Joe. Their divorce finalized on September 2, 2020. As of early 2021, Teresa has an estimated net worth of $11 million.

The legal troubles for Teresa started after she and her then-husband Joe filed for bankruptcy in 2009 but withdrew their petition after an auction of furniture from their home (scheduled for August 22, 2010) was canceled.

The RHONJ star along with Joe was charged with frauds on July 29, 2013, in relation to their bankruptcy declaration 4 years earlier. The indictment on 39-counts included mail fraud, wire fraud, bank fraud, and made false statements on loan applications.

In addition to that, her then-spouse saw accusations of tax payment failure between 2004 & 2008 on the $1 million income.

They didn't plead guilty to conspiracy to commit fraud on August 14, 2013, and their trial was scheduled on October 8 that year. The duo, later on, March 4, 2014, plead guilty to 41-counts of fraud, and on October 2, Teresa was sentenced to 15 months in federal prison while Joe saw 41 months imprisonment, along with $414,000 in restitution.

But to take care of their children, they were allowed to stagger their sentence, as one could raise the kids while another remained in the prison. Teresa Giudice began serving her sentence on January 5, 2015 and was released on December 23, 2015.

Shortly after that, Joe went to prison and was released in March 2019.
