Question

My parents used to quarrel and many times my father used the words like "go to your fathers house" and even once told to my grandfather "take your daughter to your home" ( in Urdu) and once he even said that "I will get another wife"but never used the word divorce explicitly; but now alhamdulillah they don't fight anymore. Please tell me the status of nikaah of my parents and I think he did not intend divorce at that time.

Answer

If he did not intend divorce at the time he uttered those statements, no divorce had taken place.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
