Is the phrase "If you touch the phone, then go to your family's house" considered a divorce, if the intention behind it was to threaten and prevent the wife from inspecting the phone and from excessive jealousy, and the wife claimed that she did not understand the meaning of the phrase?

The phrase mentioned is among the subtle allusions in divorce, and thus, divorce does not occur by it unless there is an intention to effect it. So, as long as you did not intend to effect divorce, but rather intended a threat, your divorce does not occur.
