Ok my question is my ex and I have a temporary order in place due to the fact I lost my job 2 years ago and had an order set in place at that time… I now have a new job with Income and carry health insurance and have daycare expenses that were not entered into the order 2 years ago. Is this enough to do a modification?

If the order is temporary, you should not need to argue that there has been a substantial change in circumstances. You should be able to calendar the matter for a permanent [child support](http://www.rosen.com/child-support/) hearing and present evidence of your current expenses, etc. to obtain a new child support obligation. If you do have to argue a change in circumstances, it sounds like you should be able to meet that burden. You should enter your information in our [child support calculator](http://www.rosen.com/childcalculator/) to determine if your obligation is going to change substantially enough to make the hassle of court worthwhile.
