Genera;;y speaking, a case is set on a "Disposition Docket" for one of two reasons: when the court recieves all the information that the matter is now ready for disposition (verdict, dispositive motion, settlement, etc.), or the case has been inactive for a set period of time (like 6 months). What I think it means in your case is that the filing was complete and that in 3 months time it will come up on the court calendar and the court will decide the divorce case. Good luck.
