Teresa Guidice will not let her brother Joe Gorga and sister-in-law Melissa Gorga take her children if she and her husband Joe Giudice go to prison. Teresa is adament that her enemy Melissa will not raise her four children. And now with two new fraud charges against Teresa for lying on her loan morgage application, prison time seems extremely realistic for Mrs. Giudice who nneds to start thinking about who will raise her children.

Teresa can't bare the thought of her children being taken care of by Melissa, who Teresa believes stole her only brother away from her. The two women have had their ups and down but on The RHONJ reunion it was clear that Teresa still has friction wife Melissa and her sister-in-law only cares for Teresa because her children and Teresa's children are cousins. It's bad enough to be behind bars; the thought of her foe raising her children is nauseating to the Housewife.

RHONJ stars Teresa and Joe Giudice, accused of now staggering 41 counts of fraud, plan to have their four children live with Joe Giudice's brother and NOT adoring aunt and uncle, Melissa and Joe Gorga, if they are both sent to jail.

The fraud situation is very scary. Teresa Giudice plead not guilty on Monday to 2 new fraud charges fraud stemming from allegations she filed a false application to get a $361k mortgage loan. Add 2 more fraud charges to their already staggering 39 charges making the grand total a whopping 41! Prison is definitely in the cards for The Real Housewives Of New Jersey stars.

Even if the children won't live with Teresa's brother, 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.

How much do the children know about their legal problems? Teresa answers:

"The little ones know nothing. Gia knows a bit. But she is only concerned that we love her, and we always tell her we love her. If she has more questions, I will answer them. I wold rather her ask us than to hear things from other people who do not know us or the situation."

She added, "Joe is always an optimist, but he realizes this is a serious situation. He looks forward to his day in court. He wants to move forward, and his only concern is for our family."

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 outspoken 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.

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.

6) Fraud charges fraud stemming from allegations Teresa filed a false application to get a $361k mortgage loan.

 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 the sake of the children.
