I’m sure my fellow Real Housewives of New Jersey fans watched the Real Housewives of New Jersey Teresa Checks In and have kept up with all of the legal drama surrounding Teresa Giudice and her husband Joe Giudice. With that said, it was pretty highly publicized that Joe and their four daughters visited Teresa as much as they could.
So I just figured that Teresa would return the favor with the regular visits- especially since he is going to be behind bars for such a long time. Well, apparently that is not exactly what’s happening and the reasoning is pretty surprising.

Don’t worry, Teresa and Joe are still very united as couple. There is no strife that is preventing her from visiting him. It actually has to do with how the visiting system works. In an ideal world, Teresa and her daughters would visit Joe every week, but that’s just not possible at this point. Teresa’s lawyer James Leonard explained this to People: “Where he is, you get a certain number of points every month and each visit counts as a point. Weekend visits are considered more points. So because he also has his mother and sister coming to visit, and Teresa can’t go during the week because the girls are in school, they’re having to do it every other weekend.”

Aside from the points system at the prison, the Giudice girls are very busy since they are involved in a lot of activities inside and outside of school. Both Joe and Teresa don’t want the girls to stray from their typical schedules so they can feel as normal as possible given the tough circumstance that they have been dealt.
Even though Teresa can’t visit Joe as much as she would like they “speak every day on the phone and over email and with the girls. Just like when she was away.” So at least they are keeping in regular touch.
Plus it’s almost summer which means that Teresa is “looking forward to when the girls get out of school and they can visit Joe with more frequency.”
It is very sad that the four Giudice girls have to go through this ordeal again, but it is nice to see that their parents are doing what they can to maintain some level of normalcy for them.
