COLUMBUS, Ohio Ohio Governor Bob Taft is expected to sign a bill that targets deadbeat parents by adding interest charges on unpaid child support. The state Legislature passed the bill this month.

The bill also aims to speed up the time it takes to get paternity tests on children. The bill would allow unwed mothers to go directly to a juvenile court to get a genetic testing order, bypassing county child enforcement agencies. Women seek the majority of paternity tests so they can collect child support.
