A US judge has ordered a man to stop having children.

Corey Curtis from Racine, Wisconsin has been told that he needs to be able to pay for the nine children he already has before having any more, reports CBS 58.

The 44-year-old was instructed to stop breeding as a condition of probation until he can support his kids, each from a different woman.

Racine County Judge Tim Boyle sentenced Curtis to a three-year probation order after he failed to pay $50,000 in child support, as well as another $40,000 in interest.

Judge Boyle said: "Common sense dictates you shouldn't have kids you can't afford. I will make that a condition of the probation."

Curtis vowed to abide by the conditions.

He said: "Judges, they make rulings, they make them kind of hastily. So, if that's what he feels one of my conditions should be then I'm going to abide by it."
