Voldemort still has his wand. At the beginning of this book, he measures it against Lucius Malfoy's showing he still has it and it is intact. Dumbledore explains to Harry in book 4 that since both wands contained a tail feather from Fawkes the phoenix, the couldn't face each other as they'd refuse to destroy each other pretty much. It is assumed that Ollivander explained something similar to Voldemort when he offered the suggestion of using a different wand. In Harry's vision after arriving at The Burrow in this book, Voldemort tortures Ollivander because his assumption that any different wand would work appeared to be incorrect as Lucius's wand was destroyed when Voldemort faced Harry with it.

I want to know how he still had it in the first place, having been reduced to a thing in someone's head till Wormtail helped him get his body back. Who was looking after it? Not Wormtail, he was in a rat's body. Most followers were in Azkaban. We never saw anyone hand it back to him in GOF. Any thoughts here?

I think he decided to stop using it after it didn't work against harry's wand, ollivander I think told him about the twin cores being the reason that it did the priori incantum thing in goblet of fire and he decided to use someone else's wand against harry from then on. I don't think his got damaged he just decided not to use it anymore.

Voldemort and Harry had core wands. Their wands had a phoenix feather from the same phoenix, Fawkes. So, Voldemort did not have full control over his wand. He then went to Ollivander, for this. Ollivander said the whole story behind the wands, and thus Olliavander was tortured. Voldemort took Lucious Malfoy's wand but it was defeated by Harry. Then went to find the Elder wand. He found it in the grave of Professor Albus Dumbledore. He took it, but still, he could not bring it under his control. He thought that Severus Snape killed Dumbledore so Snape was the worthy owner of the wand. Hence, he killed Severus Snape. But the Eldar wand belonged to Draco Malfoy. As Draco had disarmed Albus Dumbledore. But Harry had disarmed and snatched away Draco's wand while at Malfoy Manor later in the story. Hence, the Eldar wand belongs to Harry. As it belongs to Harry, in the last when Harry and Voldemort duel, Voldemort dies. And just before that, the part of Voldemort's would in Harry also dies.

Nothing happened to it voldemort just wanted power.

Voldemort wanted a new wand because the Phoenix feather wand would not kill Harry. Harry's wand split Lucius's wand, so voldemort searched for the elder wand. The yew wand's last act was splitting open dumbledore's tomb to get the elder wand.
Livvy Bias
In the goblet of fire when the twin cores activated his wand broke because it was vibrating so hard it began to split
Emily
When Voldemort went up against Harry in the beginning of the book Harry's wand was stronger so Harry's wand split Voldemort's wand in half. (Which is why he had to use Lucius's wand)

he still has his wand surely because the elder wand isnt his

It was said in the book, when Voldemort broke into Dumbledore's tomb, that that action would be that wand's last. Voldemort stopped using his wand given to him by Ollivander. Voldemort's wand wasn't dammaged, it was Lucius Malfoy's that was destroyed by the power of Harry's wand. Voldemort merely stopped using his own wand after the discovery of the twin cores.

Voldemort had his 1st wand made out of the same Phoenix hair (Fawkes') as of Harry so he couldn't win him in a duel. So, he decided to borrow lucius' wand, but he gives it back in the thirst of the most powerful wand in the world (elder wand)
Niina
In my opinion the wand was taken and destroyed after the fall of Voldermort, but I don't remember if it was said in the books, or is this only my imagination filling the void.

Peter Pettigrew returned to the house and discovered the Dark Lord's wand in the wreckage (from Rowling’s official fan site) taking it with him as he fled the scene in order to prevent the wand from falling into the Ministry's hands and possibly exposing him as a traitor since all wands have a record of the spells they have cast and can be examined by those trained to do so. He would keep this wand in an undisclosed location for twelve long years afterwards, until the time when he could locate its true owner once again.
And it is not mentioned. There are several extraneous details for questions I’ve had as reading the series that I had to go look up. Rowling has posted answers to all of my questions so far though
