Syllabus

The trial court erred and deprived mother of her right to counsel in permanent custody proceedings when it permitted the withdrawal of her appointed counsel without determining whether mother was knowingly waiving her right to counsel and when it proceeded to hold hearings and render decisions in the refiled permanent custody and temporary custody proceedings in mother's absence and without counsel to represent mother.
