Sia has agreed to fork over tens of thousands of dollars each month to her estranged husband, Daniel Bernad.
The money is all for child support for their son, with the separated couple also finding common ground on child custody for Somersault Wonder Bernad.
Child Support
According to court documents reviewed by People, Sia will pay Bernad $42,500 per month in child support for their son, Somersault Wonder Bernad.
The monthly payments begin on April 1st and will continue until the child turns 18, or, if he’s still in high school full-time, until he graduates or turns 19. The support can end earlier due to certain contingencies, including death, marriage, emancipation, or further court order.
Along with monthly child support, Sia must pay for private school tuition, agreed-upon extracurricular activities, and uninsured health costs. She must also maintain health insurance for her son.
As for the child’s financial future, Sia must keep a $5 million life insurance policy naming her son as beneficiary or establish a trust to provide equal support if the singer dies before Somersault reaches adulthood.
Sharing Custody
The estranged couple will have joint legal custody of their son, with physical custody following a set schedule, also starting on April 1st, 2026. The arrangement has “specific weekday and weekend custody” for their son.
It also divides holidays between the two. Bernad will have custody on Father’s Day and parts of Hanukkah, while Sia has custody on Mother’s Day, Easter, and Christmas.
The filing details vacations, school breaks, and communication between the parents.
Ongoing Divorce Battle
Sia and Bernad married in 2022. In 2024, the pair welcomed their son, Somersault. However, in 2025, things soured, with Sia filing for divorce from Bernad in March 2025.
In October 2025, Bernad filed for sole legal and physical custody of their son, alleging that Sia was “an unfit and unreliable parent struggling with substance abuse and addiction,” according to documents obtained by People.
Sia responded to the filing the following day, claiming she had been sober for more than six months and was actively participating in a recovery program that entailed weekly testing and a sober companion.
She added, “My recovery has been a cornerstone of my life.”
A judge later denied Bernad’s request for emergency sole custody, stating that “sufficient exigency for the requested emergency relief has not been shown at this time.”
Bernad tried filing for temporary spousal support of $250,856 per month, along with funds for legal and forensic accounting fees, alleging he had no income after leaving his medical career to pursue a business venture with Sia.
This was resolved separately in December 2025.
