A copy of the petition for rescission and a summons shall be served on the petitioner’s parent, guardian, or legal custodian.#

The court shall grant the petition and rescind the order of emancipation if it finds:#

1. (1)

   That the petitioner is an indigent person and has no means of support;#

2. (2)

   That the petitioner and the petitioner’s parent, guardian, or legal custodian agree that the order should be rescinded; or#

3. (3)

   That there is a resumption of family relations inconsistent with the existing emancipation order.#

If a petition for rescission is granted, the court shall issue an order rescinding the emancipation order and retain a copy of the order until the petitioner becomes 25 years of age.#

Rescission of an emancipation order shall not alter any contractual obligations or rights or any property rights or interests that arose during the period of time that the emancipation order was in effect.#

A child or his or her parent, guardian, or legal custodian may appeal the court’s grant or denial of a petition for rescission of an emancipation order. The appeal shall be filed in the Court of Appeals.#
