Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

Step Father threatening to go after custody of nonbiological child

My husband and I were married 9 years. He never adopted my daughter who is now 12 years old. When I left the marriage I moved my daughter and myself back to Canada (our home country). Now my husband is threatening to go after custody of my daughter because he says he can look after her financially better than I. My daughter does NOT want to live with him. Does he stand a chance of getting custody... by the way..... he is claiming bankruptcy.
