The 20-year-old was ordered to attend a hearing in August and was notified that if she is found guilty, her sentence could include up to six months in jail, probation and fines of over $500.
About Milania Giudice's May arrest
She was arrested by Montville Township police for her alleged involvement in domestic violence at her mother's and stepdad Luis "Louie" Ruelas' home on May 14.
As per the Montville Police Department arrest report, Giudice was "throwing food [and] candles" during the "domestic violence dispute.
Teresa's other daughter Gabriella Giudice called 911 just before 6:15 p.m. and said her "sister [was] acting erratically".

At a May 19 hearing, the 20-year-old, who is a student at the University of Tampa, did not enter a plea.
Milania Giudice speaks out about her arrest
In June, Milania spoke publicly about her arrest for the first time while reacting to a fake mugshot circulating on social media.
"I have one thing to say, I'm going to save the rest for tomorrow. But that 'mugshot' of me, if you guys really believe. That's AI," she said in a TikTok video at the time.
She added, "I ate down in my mugshot. I looked fire. I mean, nothing to be proud of."
Teresa, 54, shares four daughters, Gia, 25, Gabriella and Milania, 21, and Audriana, 16, with ex-husband Joe Giudice, whom she was married to from 1999 to 2020. After their divorce, Teresa married Luis "Louie" Ruelas in 2022.
