Teresa Giudice is reportedly planning to be done with her husband Joe Giudice once she's released from prison.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey star -- who is serving a 15-month sentence beginning on January 5 -- basically got into trouble because Joe lied to her about their finances and would use her in his fraudulent schemes, and she's not about to just let that go, the Daily Mail reported.
Teresa reportedly intends to file for divorce from Joe when she gets out of jail and goes home to their four daughters, which marks the time when Joe will start his own 41-month sentence.
"Teresa is livid with Joe for putting her in this position so she is fed up and going to send him the divorce papers and tell him to sign them while he is sitting in cell -- or else!" a source told the Daily Mail.
"Teresa depended on Joe too much to take care of the family and now she is paying for it! She trusted Joe and that's why they got into trouble -- he was greedy and did some shady deals to live large. This has been a huge wake-up call for Teresa but she is not going to lay down and give up! Teresa is determined to make all of this up to her daughters."

Teresa and Joe's four daughters are Gia, 13, Gabriella, 10, Milania, 8, and Audrianna, 5.
"Teresa does not want her kids to suffer because of her -- and Joe's -- mistakes so she has been working on her life after prison and she is going to be very rich!" said the source, explaining that Teresa has landed a deal to host her own cooking show on Bravo once she gets out of prison.
"Up until now Teresa was just another Housewife who loved to cook for her family and lavish her daughters with expensive gifts but now she is planning on being a single mother who has to raise her daughters. This is a whole new life for Teresa and she is going to be a force to be reckoned with when she starts over!"
The source added that Giudice has a "new attitude" and is "much wiser" than before, according to the Daily Mail. She will reportedly be far less likely to trust someone in the future.
Teresa and Joe, both 42, pleaded guilty to 41 counts of fraud on March 4, and on October 2, the couple learned of their sentences. Joe may also face deportation since the Italy native is not a United States citizen.
