Music News: Sia To Pay Ex $42K In Spousal Support
Sia has agreed to pay her estranged husband Dan Bernad more than $42,000 per month in spousal support.
The Chandelier singer and Bernad have reached an agreement over child support and custody of their two-year-old, Somersault Wonder Bernad, a year after Sia filed for divorce.
According to court documents filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Monday, the Australian singer-songwriter agreed to pay Bernad $42,500 per month in child support, beginning on 1 April. The payments will continue until Somersault turns 18.Â
The 50-year-old has also accepted financial responsibility for their son’s private school tuition, health insurance, agreed-upon extracurricular activities and uninsured healthcare costs, reports People and Us Weekly.Â
Following a long custody battle, the former couple have now agreed to share joint legal custody of Somersault, while physical custody will follow a set schedule that outlines specific weekdays and weekends, as well as a detailed breakdown of holiday plans.Â
The Cheap Thrills singer tied the knot with Bernad in Italy in May 2023 and filed for divorce in March 2025, a year after welcoming Somersault.Â
Bernad had initially requested sole legal and physical custody of their son, claiming Sia was an unfit parent, but a judge denied his petition. He also requested more than $250,000 (£188,000) in temporary spousal support.Â
According to Monday’s filing, the former couple resolved the spousal support issue in December.Â
In addition to Somersault, Sia is the mother to two adult adopted sons.
