Teresa Giudice Meets With Divorce Lawyer, Skips Husband’s Court Hearing


Teresa Giudice skipped out on her husband’s court hearing today and met with a divorce attorney instead. While there is no guarantee that Teresa will be filing for divorce, sources say that she’s looking into hiring a divorce lawyer who will be able to look into filing an appeal for her — and possibly let her know all of her options when it comes to parting ways with Joe. According to Radar Online, Teresa’s first step is to try and figure out if she can avoid going to prison.

“Teresa really likes her and will likely hire her to handle the appeal of her looming prison sentence. The lawyer would also bring another attorney on board that specializes in white collar crime,” shared a source. Appealing her prison sentence will definitely be tricky since Teresa agreed that she would not file an appeal when she signed that handy dandy plea deal. Perhaps there is some kind of loop hole.

Teresa Giudice and her husband Joe have put forth a united front, but sources behind the scenes say that things aren’t all peachy at home. According to The Stir, there have been quite a few signs that these two will be ending their marriage — and the addition of the meeting with a divorce attorney? Well, that just adds to the growing speculation.

“While it’s odd that Teresa would be meeting with a divorce attorney to handle the appeal, it’s not that unconventional for the mother of four. She is going with her gut instincts on this one. It shouldn’t be lost on anyone either that Joe isn’t going to be pursuing any appeal, and Teresa will likely hire the divorce attorney to handle her inevitable split from him,” the source explained.

According to The Inquisitr, Teresa Giudice is fed up with Joe. Apparently his drinking problem (which he admitted to having during an interview with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live) has gotten a bit out of control.

“It’s really sad. Most nights Joe stays downstairs long after Teresa and the girls have gone to bed. He usually drinks a lot of wine, and ends up passing out on the couch. When it first started happening, Teresa told him to at least make an effort to come upstairs before the girls got up in the morning. She didn’t want the girls to see their dad on the couch first thing.”

Do you think Teresa and Joe will end up splitting? Do you think there is any way that Teresa won’t go to jail in January?
