The answer

As long as you did not intend to finalize the divorce with that phrase, but rather intended it as a threat, then no divorce has occurred by it, provided your wife did not go to her family, as stated in Fath al-Qadeer by Kamal ibn al-Humam. It is advisable to avoid threatening divorce during marital disputes and to exercise wisdom.
