Sia and her estranged husband Daniel Bernad have reached a new child support agreement for their son.

According to court documents filed in LA County Superior Court, the Cheap Thrills hitmaker will pay Bernad $42,500 per month in child support for their son, Somersault Wonder Bernad.

Sia and Bernard welcomed their son on March 27, 2024.

The payments began on April 1 and will continue until their child turns 18, and if he is still attending high school full time, then until he graduates or turns 19.

Moreover, the payment could be discontinued under certain conditions, including marriage, death, emancipation or a further court order.

Besides the monthly payments, Sia is responsible for covering private school tuition, agreed-upon extracurricular activities and uninsured healthcare costs.

The agreement also covers provisions to secure the child's financial future. Sia is required to maintain a $5 million life insurance policy naming her son as beneficiary or establish a trust to provide equivalent support if she dies before he reaches adulthood.

While the legal custody of their son will be shared, the physical custody will be observed according to a set schedule.

As per the agreement, the husband will have custody on occasions including Father's Day and parts of Hanukkah, while Sia will have custody on Mother's Day, Easter and Christmas.

The settlement came amid an ongoing divorce between the pair. Sia filed for divorce from Bernad in March 2025. The former couple tied the knot in 2022.

Notably, Sia is also mother to two boys, whom she adopted in 2019 when they were 18 years old.
