§ 5101.71.
(A) If it appears that an adult in need of protective services has the financial means
sufficient to pay for such services, the county department of job and family services
shall make an evaluation regarding such means. If the evaluation establishes that the adult has such financial means, the department
shall initiate procedures for reimbursement pursuant to rules adopted under section 5101.61 of the Revised Code . If the evaluation establishes that the adult does not have such financial means,
the services shall be provided in accordance with the policies and procedures established
by the department of job and family services for the provision of welfare assistance. An adult shall not be required to pay for court-ordered protective services unless
the court determines that the adult is financially able to pay and the court orders
the adult to pay. (B) Whenever the county department of job and family services or the county prosecutor
has petitioned the court to authorize the provision of protective services and the
adult who is the subject of the petition is indigent, the court shall appoint legal
counsel.
