I presume that the exisiting child custody and visitation agreement and order that is in effect between you and your "ex" concerning your daughter does not mention the daughter being taken care of by the "ex's" girlfriend as opposed to the "ex".
If so, then under the court order on this subject assuming there is one in existence, it does not appear that you are required to have your daughter be supervised by the girlfriend when the "ex" is at work. I suggest that you consult further with a family law attorney on this subject.

You need not agree to this. The point of visitation is to spend time with the biological parent; not the girlfriend. Get as much information about this person as possible and get thee immediately to a court to file a contempt motion both for the failure to spend quality time with your child and the failure to communicate with you. Seek supervised visitation or ask for visitation to be suspended until he gets his act together.
