As their daughters Sophia , 19 , and Georgia , 17 , grew up , Felicity Huffman and her husband of 22 years , William H . Macy , did their best to create a life ruled by traditional joys , not Hollywood glitz .

Six months later the Emmy - winning Desperate Housewives star stood before a judge in a Boston courtroom and was sentenced to 14 days in prison , a year of supervised release , a $ 30 , 000 fine and 250 hours of community service after pleading guilty to paying admissions consultant Rick Singer $ 15 , 000 to have a proctor correct Sophia ' s SAT answers after she took the test .
Huffman ' s role in the cheating scandal - which involves 50 other parents , coaches , exam proctors and admissions counselors , including Full House actress Lori Loughlin - left her family reeling with hurt , shame and fear about their future .
Since her arrest , the family has gone through some rough patches , says a source close to them , but they ' re fighting through them as best they can . They know it will take some time .
In the face of their new reality , Huffman , Macy and their daughters are determined to stick together and find a way forward , according to sources .
