US court documents reveal Dan Bernad seeks to maintain ‘luxurious and upper-class lifestyle’ he had with Australian singer, who filed for divorce in May
Sia’s estranged husband is seeking more than US$250,000 (A$386,000, £187,000) a month in spousal support, according to US court documents.
The Australian pop singer, full name Sia Furler, split from Daniel Bernad – the father of their 18-month-old son, Somersault, in May and filed for divorce after three years of marriage. Now the former radiation oncologist has requested the sum, as well as $US300,000 for legal fees and another $US200,000 to cover the cost of forensic accounting.
According to court documents filed in Los Angeles, Bernad claimed he has been left with no income after he stopped working in his regular job in 2021 to open a ketamine treatment clinic with Sia.
The former couple formed a company, Modern Medicine, in 2022 but the documents alleged Sia stopped funding the venture in March. Her estranged husband hasn’t received a salary since then, despite an alleged agreement for him to continue in the business until July.
