Caption: Sia agrees to pay estranged husband over $40,000 per month in child support. The Chandelier singer and Dan Bernad have reached an agreement over child support and custody of their two-year-old, Somersault Wonder Bernad, a year after Sia filed for divorce after two years of marriage. According to court documents filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Monday, the Australian singer-songwriter agreed to pay Bernad $42,500 per month in child support, beginning on 1 April. The payments will continue until Somersault turns 18. People and Us Weekly report that the 50-year-old has also accepted financial responsibility for their son's private school tuition, health insurance agreed-upon extracurricular activities and uninsured healthcare costs. Following a long custody battle, the former couple have now agreed to share joint legal custody of Somersault while physical custody will follow a set schedule that outlines specific weekdays and weekends, as well as a detailed breakdown of holiday plans. The Cheap Thrills singer tied the knot with Bernad in Italy in May 2023 and filed for divorce in March 2025, a year after welcoming Somersault. Bernad had initially requested sole legal and physical custody of their son, claiming Sia was an unfit parent, but a judge denied his petition. He also requested more than $250,000 (£188,000) in temporary spousal support. According to Monday's filing, the former couple resolved the spousal support issue in December. In addition to Somersault, Sia is the mother to two adopted adult sons. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
