Will a judge increase child support to cover daycare costs?

Child support for my children was set over three years ago when I was not working. I have recently returned to employment and I now have to place my youngest son in daycare as he is not yet school age. The current child support doesn’t cover any daycare costs and the cost is substantial as I need daycare for 40 hours per week. Can my child support be increased to cover part of these additional daycare costs? How do I file for a child support modification in Virginia and do I need a lawyer to represent me or do I do it myself? I live in the Richmond area.
