In the Matter of the TERMINATION OF the PARENT-CHILD RELATIONSHIP OF I.B., Minor Child, and M.L., Child's Mother, Appellant (Respondent below), v. INDIANA DEPARTMENT OF CHILD SERVICES, Appellee (Petitioner below).

Supreme Court of Indiana.

September 21, 2010.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Joel Schumm , Indianapolis, IN, Daniel B. Schuetz , Franklin, IN, Attorneys for Appellant.

Robert Henke , Indianapolis, IN, Attorney for Appellee.

On Petition to Transfer from the Indiana Court of Appeals, No. 03A05-0912-JV-676

SULLIVAN, Justice.

Following termination of an absent mother's parental rights, the juvenile court declined to appoint counsel to appeal the termination. Indiana law requires court-appointed counsel for an indigent parent who appeals the termination of his or her parental rights—but only where the parent himself or herself authorizes the appeal.
