Joe and Teresa Giudice will be appearing in court on October 2 for their sentencing involving their bankruptcy and fraud case, according to Radar Online.

Amidst all of the legal drama, Joe Giudice is reportedly trying to "negotiate a deal around his potential sentencing" that would get him $30,000, according to the entertainment website.

According to a source, Joe is "hopeful that he wouldn't be remanded into custody on October 2, and will be given a date to turn himself in at a later time. After the Christmas holidays would be ideal."

The insider added, "But being fully aware that Bravo needs both he and Teresa to appear on the reunion, Joe is demanding that he get $30,000. If Bravo doesn't want to pay him as much, he just won't be there."

Like her husband, Teresa Giudice also reportedly had plans of making bank once the sentencing had ended. Although the RHONJ star reportedly planned to "cash in" by doing a paid interview with a celebrity entertainment show, she found out that she's contractually obligated to do her first interview with Andy Cohen.

"Andy has the first right of refusal under Teresa's contract with Bravo. . . Obviously Andy and Bravo know this will be ratings gold, and wouln't pass up the chance to interview Teresa one-on-one, after she is sentenced on October 2," an insider told the publication.

It looks like former RHONJ cast member Caroline Manzo might be tuning in to watch the potentionally drama-filled reunion in the near future.

During a new interview with Star magazine, Manzo admitted to watching the show "on and off," according to Bravo TV.

"I left because I was done with it, but I don't think the show [itself] should be done," stated Manzo.
