Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

Do i have to let my daughter stay with her stepfather. The divorce agreement says she cannot be alone with a nonrelative member of the oppossitte sex. My exwife now says that since they r now married-it is her choice who she stays with. I have trust issues with him because they cheated together. My exes dad was a convicted child molester and they are now freinds also. My daughter had been staying with my mom when needed-but my ex now wants her to stay with him.
