Overview
- Court documents filed Monday in Los Angeles, reviewed by multiple outlets, detailed a stipulated agreement that settles support and sets custody terms for Sia and Daniel Bernad.
- Sia will pay $42,500 each month starting April 1, with payments running until their son turns 18 or to 19 if he is still in high school, unless a court changes the order or other listed conditions occur.
- The deal requires Sia to cover private school tuition, agreed extracurriculars, and uninsured medical costs, to keep health insurance for her son, and to maintain a $5 million life policy or equivalent trust for his benefit.
- They share joint legal custody with a fixed schedule that splits weekdays, weekends, and holidays, giving Bernad time including Father’s Day and Jewish holidays and giving Sia time including Mother’s Day, Easter, and Christmas.
- Sia later said on X that she is a sober working mom “trying to buy peace,” noting she is the only income earner despite having primary custody, after earlier 2025 court fights that included a denied emergency custody bid and a large spousal-support request resolved in December.
