الجواب حامداومصليا
'Don't worry you are free from now on...I will divorce you. The key word here is 'I will'. This denotes future tense. The Islamic ruling regarding Talaq being uttered in the future tense is that Talaq does not occur They are merely a promise or a warning and promises and warning do not effect Talaq. However, if he said '....I divorce you' instead then one Talaq would occur. So in your case Talaq has not occurred and your Nikah is still intact.
If a wife files for a divorce, and the husband understanding the contents of the divorce papers sent to him and he signs and gives his clear consent for the divorce to go ahead. Then this will constitute an Islamic divorce. However, if the husband does not sign on any written document or he fails to give his clear consent for the court to go ahead with the divorce, but the court divorces him on behalf of his wife against his will, then this does not constitute a valid Islamic divorce.

(الفتاوى العالمكيرية ج.1 ص.384, كتاب الطلاق, رشيدية)
كذالك كل كتاب لم يكتبه بخطه ولم يمله بنفسه لايقع به الطلاق اذالم يقر انه كتابه
(الدرالمختارمع ردالمحتار ج.3 ص.247, مطلب في الطلاق بالكتابة ,سعيد)
And Allah knows best
