1Opinion of the CourtLanzinger, J.
*510{¶ 1} In this case, we must determine whether an indigent parent, whose sentence for civil contempt at a previous hearing for failure to pay child support was suspended on condition that he comply with his child-support obligations for a year, has a right to appointed counsel at a subsequent hearing on a motion to impose the suspended sentence due to noncompliance with the conditions. We hold that the subsequent hearing retains the civil nature of the original civil-contempt proceeding and that therefore due process does not require that an indigent parent be provided with appointed counsel.
