How do I go about obtaining a court order for extended support?
My son graduates high school this year. My divorce papers provide for continuation of child support if the child attends college. The state’s support enforcement advises that I must obtain a court order for extended support.

Based upon what you have written about concerning the need for continued child support of your son, you will need to file a petition with the court where the current child support order is in place seeking what you desire. You will need to submit a declaration of yourself stating that your son intends to go to college.
I suggest that you consult with a family law attorney for assistance.
