Sia has agreed to pay ex Dan Bernad a hefty amount of child support following their divorce.
According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly on Monday, April 6, the “Cheap Thrills” singer, 50, agreed to pay Bernad $42,500 per month for the care of 2-year-old son Somersault. The payments began on April 1 and will continue until Somersault turns 18. (Sia is also mother to two sons she adopted as teens in foster care.)
In addition to child support, Sia will cover her son’s private school tuition, mutually agreed upon extracurricular activities and mutually agreed upon uninsured health costs, per the docs. The singer will also be responsible for her child’s health insurance.
The exes, who split in March 2025, now share joint legal custody of Somersault and will have a set holiday schedule.. Bernad will have Somersault for Father’s Day and Jewish holidays including Yom Kippur, Passover and Hanukkah. Sia, for her part, will have Mother’s Day, Easter and Christmas. The exes will rotate for Thanksgiving, Halloween and other various holiday breaks.
Sia’s estranged husband, Dan Bernard, has asked a court to award him more than $250,000 per month in spousal support. Us Weekly obtained court documents showing that Bernard has requested that Sia (full name Sia Kate Isobelle Furler) pay him $250,856 monthly, in addition to funding other legal expenses.

Sia and Bernad’s custody agreement will become effective in May.
Us Weekly has reached out to Sia for comment.
Sia and Bernad tied the knot in May 2023 at fashion designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana’s villa in Portofino, Italy.
Two years later, Sia filed for divorce. In her March 2025 divorce filing, Sia revealed that she and Bernad share a son while requesting legal and physical custody of their son.

Later that year, Bernad filed his own paperwork requesting more than $250,000 per month in spousal support. According to docs obtained by Us in October 2025, Bernad claimed that he’d been out of work since April 2025 after he “received a letter from Sia’s company providing me with notice that it would be terminating her funding” of their business, Modern Medicine. Bernad alleged he was living on “monthly payments from Sia” that expired in October 2025.
“I have no income, no real property, no retirement and very little funds in my bank account. I cannot maintain this litigation without a significant contribution by Sia toward my attorneys’ fees and forensic accounting fees. Sia has the greater ability to pay for both of our legal fees,” Bernad claimed in the docs. “I therefore ask the Court to level the playing field and order Sia to contribute no less than $300,000 toward my attorney’s fees and costs and $200,000 toward my forensic accounting fees and costs.”
