(7) The parents or legal guardian or legal custodian of a minor emancipated by court order are not liable for any debts incurred by the minor child during the period of emancipation.
(8) Rescinding a judgment of emancipation does not affect an obligation, responsibility, right, or interest that arose during the period of time that the judgment of emancipation was in effect.
