Child visitation rights

I am currently undergoing a divorce in Kerala_Thrissur . Two hearings are already over . I had petitioned for it as he is a thorough alcohol addict and it is impossible to live with him. He is not ready for mutual separation. Now he petitioned to the court that he wants to have our daughter (5 yr) to be with him at his home in Kerala for a month . I am petrified as a mom . I don't want him to be with her even for a minute alone. I have full faith in my lawyer who is conducting the case. We have filed a counter petition stating his alcohol abuse and my fear as a mom. First hearing of this is over .The court wants to review the case and has scheduled for a second hearing on 9/4/2018. I am working in Dubai and case is being fought in Thrissur _Kerala , so I have given power of attorney to my mom who is also looking after my daughter in Kerala . Our worry is, worst case scenario, if the case goes in his favour , then we would want to appeal to the high court . For that would my daughter be made to go immediately within two days of the hearing to his home . As we would not get the time for appealing to the high court . Would really appreciate a prompt response. As I am truly worried.
