Laurita, 45, also landed a deal for her book Get It: A Beauty, Style, and Wellness Guide to Getting Your 'It' Together, which will be released in May.

Although the reality stars made a dent in their debt, their financial issues are far from over.

According to the court papers obtained by the website, the Lauritas still owe $85,127 in unpaid taxes.

The financial troubles began for the Lauritas when their clothing company, Signature Apparel, went out of business, forcing them to file for bankruptcy in 2009.
