Sia to Pay $42,500 a Month Under Court-Approved Child Support and Custody Deal

The court's order establishes a stable framework for co-parenting.

Overview

  • A Los Angeles court filing sets Sia's child support at $42,500 per month for her son with Daniel Bernad, with payments running until he becomes an adult as defined in the order.
  • The parents will share joint legal custody under a fixed schedule that divides weekdays, weekends, and holidays.
  • Sia must cover private school tuition, agreed extracurricular activities, and uninsured medical costs, and she must keep her son's health insurance active.
  • The order requires a $5 million life insurance policy naming their son as beneficiary or an equivalent trust to secure his financial future.
  • The agreement follows a judge's earlier denial of Bernad's emergency bid for sole custody after he alleged substance abuse by Sia.
