Is a wife considered divorced by the statement, "Let me just get to the city of (X), and I will be rid of all of them," with the intention of divorce after securing a new job that did not materialize?

It is not clear that there is anything that necessitates divorcing the wife, whether absolutely or conditionally upon obtaining a job. If your intention by saying: "I will be rid of all of them" is to divorce your wife, then this is considered a promise of divorce and is not binding to fulfill. And if the mentioned wording is not a promise, and you intended that the divorce would not occur except after receiving the new job, then you are not obligated to divorce either due to its non-occurrence; because intention is beneficial in this case. So, divorce has not occurred in any case, unless you uttered another wording, in which case you must clarify it to us.
