The answer

If a husband says to his wife: "There is no discourse between you and me," and he intends divorce, then divorce occurs, because this is a kinayah (allusive) expression that could mean divorce or something else, and it depends on the intention. As for his statement: "We are now in the status of those who are divorced," he might be referring to a previous divorce, or to something he mistakenly thought was a divorce (like an inner thought), or he might intend to effect a divorce immediately, in which case it occurs then. The entire matter depends on the husband's intention.
