If the secretary for health and family services or his authorized representative is of the opinion that a support order is erroneous and presents a question of law warranting an appeal in the public interest, he may perfect an appeal to the proper appellate court if the support order was issued by a court of this state, or if the support order was issued in another state, cause the appeal to be taken in the other state. In either case, expenses of appeal may be paid on his order from funds appropriated for his office.
