Should I wait for our second court date to tell the judge of all the changes?

The father of my child has not helped me financially since I left his place or residence 6 months ago. We went to our first court hearing end of June and he was ordered to pay child support and get professional visitations. I got the main custody of our now 1 year old daughter. They set our second court date for the end of October. Since our first court date, he lost his job (got laid off) said he started to get unemployment and is currently working under the table. I, as of July, started a new job where I make more than my previous job. He has been against going through the court system from the start, but has also failed to give any money for my daughter. Up until now, my mother has been watching her and he knows this. But she can no longer be our child's caregiver and I have also informed him of this and still, no money. He never did any supervised visits, he said he had to pay for them and he had no money for that. I did agree to meet with him a few weekends but after him not helping me, I have decided it’s better to stick to the court rules only. Do I need to wait for that court date or should I be doing something prior to it? I just need help with paying for daycare.
