(a)
If the Attorney General is of the opinion that a support order or support-related order is erroneous and presents a question of law warranting an appeal, or that an order is sound and should be defended on appeal, in the public interest the Attorney General may:
(1)
Perfect or oppose an appeal to the proper appellate court if the order was issued by a court of this state.
(2)
If the order was issued in another state, cause an appeal to be taken or opposed in the other state.
(b)
In either case, expenses of the appeal may be paid on order of the Attorney General from funds appropriated for the Office of the Attorney General.
