Legal Lite – Ohio Court to Deadbeat Dad: No More Kids Until You Pay Up

I hereby sentence you to… contraception? An Ohio appeals court has upheld an order by a probation judge that a deadbeat dad refrain from having kids until he pays the nearly $100,000 he owes in child support.
 
Asim Taylor, 35, of Elyria, was sentenced to five years probation in 2013 for failing to pay child support to his four children. As a condition of that probation, the judge ordered that Taylor have no more children while on probation.
 
Can a judge really do that?
