Is it the case that marriage is not dissolved by doubt, or that a previous state of affairs does not lead to divorce in the event that a man doubts whether he or his wife uttered the word "I divorce you" during a discussion about child custody, or is he obligated to take her back as a precautionary measure?

So long as the matter is merely doubts and whisperings [], no divorce results from them, and it is not obligatory to take the wife back as a precautionary measure. Rather, it is obligatory to disregard these whisperings and pay no attention to them, and to beware of going along with them.
