Question posted in the Divorce Law category relating to Gauteng

I got Divorced this month. We are transferring the bond onto his name. He bought me out with an amount. But while the bond is still on my name he wants me to pay my half of the house. I cant afford it so he is deducting it from my amount (on the court order) He has a rental in the house but re refuses to give me half even though I'm paying half his bond. Am I entitled to the rent? Is it fair that I have to pay for a house I dont live in? Is it fair that it gets deducted from my payout?
