In any action that may lead to the termination of parental rights, the court may allow a parent or guardian to withdraw an admission or plea of no contest if the withdrawal is necessary to correct a manifest injustice. On withdrawal of the admission or plea, the parent or guardian regains the right to trial and any findings based on the admission or plea are negated.
