Whatakes you think he would try to get her? You did nit abandon her, you left her in care of someone while you are trying to improve your life. Doesn't sound like he has a chance to get her.

When he gets drunk he threatens keep her and not give her back but when he is sober he says he would never do that

You let him see her when you see fit and he threatens nit to give her back when he is drunk... sounds like he should have supervised visits only.

If you have full custody of your daughter granted by the courts, then he cannot keep her. All you would need to do is show your custody papers and have the police come with you to retrieve her.

He cannot file "abandonment charges" because you did not abandon the child. However, he can move to get custody because you have entrusted care to someone else. Whether the courts would grant him custody is a question. If you can prove his alcohol problems and show his lack of commitment to her, I doubt if they would change custody.
