Sia reached an agreement with her estranged husband Daniel Bernad regarding child support.

According to court documents obtained by People filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Monday, April 6, the singer will pay Bernard $42,500 monthly in child support. The two share a son, Somersault Wonder Bernad, who was born on March 27, 2024.

Sia began the payments on Wednesday, April 1, and will continue the monthly payments to Bernad until their child turns 18, or, if he is still attending high school full time, until he graduates or turns 19. The agreement may also end under certain conditions such as death, marriage, emancipation or further court order.

The singer will be responsible for paying for their son's private school tuition, extra-curricular activities, and healthcare expenses not covered by insurance. She will also be required to establish a $5 million life insurance policy with her son as beneficiary.

Sia and Bernad will share joint legal custody of their son, while physical custody will follow a set schedule that began on Wednesday, April 1. Bernad will have custody on holidays such as Father's Day and Hanukkah and Sia will have custody on Mother's Day, Easter, and Christmas.

Sia first filed for divorce from Bernad in March 2025 after three years of marriage. In Oct. 2025, Bernad filed a request seeking sole legal and physical custody of their son alleging Sia was, "an unfit and unreliable parent struggling with substance abuse and addiction."

Sia responded to Bernad's claims at the time stating that she was six months sober and actively in recovery. A judge then denied Bernad's request for sole custody stating there was, “sufficient exigency for the requested emergency relief has not been shown at this time."

Additionally, according to the Monday, April 6 filing, a previous issue regarding spousal support was resolved separately in Dec. 2025.
