§ 2151.352.
A child, the child's parents or custodian, or any other person in loco parentis of
the child is entitled to representation by legal counsel at all stages of the proceedings
under this chapter or Chapter 2152. of the Revised Code. If, as an indigent person, a party is unable to employ counsel, the party is entitled
to have counsel provided for the person pursuant to Chapter 120. of the Revised Code
except in civil matters in which the juvenile court is exercising jurisdiction pursuant
to division (A)(2), (3), (9), (10), (11), (12), or (13); (B)(2), (3), (4), (5), or
(6); (C); (D); or (F)(1) or (2) of section 2151.23 of the Revised Code. If a party appears without counsel, the court shall ascertain whether the party
knows of the party's right to counsel and of the party's right to be provided with
counsel if the party is an indigent person. The court may continue the case to enable a party to obtain counsel, to be represented
by the county public defender or the joint county public defender, or to be appointed
counsel upon request pursuant to Chapter 120. of the Revised Code. Counsel must be provided for a child not represented by the child's parent, guardian,
or custodian. If the interests of two or more such parties conflict, separate counsel shall be
provided for each of them. Section 2935.14 of the Revised Code applies to any child taken into custody. The parents, custodian, or guardian of such child, and any attorney at law representing
them or the child, shall be entitled to visit such child at any reasonable time, be
present at any hearing involving the child, and be given reasonable notice of such
hearing. Any report or part thereof concerning such child, which is used in the hearing and
is pertinent thereto, shall for good cause shown be made available to any attorney
at law representing such child and to any attorney at law representing the parents,
custodian, or guardian of such child, upon written request prior to any hearing involving
such child.
