Good news for Real Housewives of New Jersey star, Teresa Giudice! NJ.com is reporting that a Bergen County Superior Court judge has ruled in favor of the Giudice’s today when the mortgage fraud civil suit against the real housewife was dismissed and her husband’s reduced.

A rare legal victory for “Real Housewives of New Jersey”star Teresa Giudice: A Bergen County Superior Court judge dismissed a lawsuit against the embattled reality TV queen, saying she played no role in a fraud perpetrated by her husband against his former business partner Joseph Mastropole.

Judge Robert Polifroni also dismissed much of Mastropole’s case against Joe Giudice, although he left the door open for Mastropole to seek punitive damages against his former partner for forging his name on documents related to the discharge of a mortgage on an East Orange apartment building, part of their so-called “business divorce” in 2007.

In his ruling, Polifroni reasoned the debt was eventually paid to Mastropole via a foreclosure on the property, and ruled against Mastropole’s request for attorney’s fees, which exceed the actual amount of the original debt. Polifroni also sided with Teresa Giudice, saying Stern had made a detailed a review of her involvement and found an absence of evidence connecting her to her husband’s real estate affairs.
