The estranged husband of singer Sia has requested a substantial amount of money for spousal support, legal fees, and other costs amid their bitter divorce months after the bizarre name of their child was revealed.
The 49-year-old Australian singer’s – born Sia Kate Isobelle Furler – second husband Daniel Bernard has requested a mammoth amount of $250,856 per month from a judge according to TMZ.
However, it does not end there according to the site as Bernard is requesting that his ex contribute at least $300,000 toward his attorney fees.

If that wasn’t already enough Sia’s ex also wants an additional $200,000 for ‘forensic accounting fees and costs’ according to legal documents obtained by the entertainment news site.
Daily Mail has reached out to reps and has yet to hear back.
Sia originally filed for divorce from Daniel back in March after just 26 months of marriage citing celeb favorite ‘irreconcilable differences.’
However, Bernard said that in their time together the pop star had spared no expense including a 9,500-square-foot home in Toluca Lake, Los Angeles, with 10-12 staff members which included a butler, personal chefs, a stylist, two masseuses, housekeeper, and even an IT worker.
The estranged spouse estimated in the legal documents that their living expenses ranged from $400,000 to $500,000 per month.
He also says that he has been unemployed since April 1 with no source of income as Sia had ended all funding for their joint business, Modern Medicine, which included his salary.
Bernard also claims that his only source of income has been montly payments from his famous ex through stipulated orders which only cover payments through October 1, 2025.
According to TMZ, Bernard said he is asking the court to ‘level the playing field.’
Sia also checked the box to terminate the court’s ability to award spousal support to Bernard but that hasn’t deterred him from seeking it.
In addition the two also share an 11-month-old baby named Somersault Wonder Bernard as the singer had requested legal and physical custody for the child but was open to visitation for Bernard. In the divorce paperwork filed March 19, it is stated that she had separated from Dan only the day before.
Before marrying Bernard, Sia became a mom to two teenage boys in 2019. Both were 18 years old at the time and about to age out of the foster care system.
They started dating in December 2021 and married during an intimate ceremony in 2023 in Portofino, Italy.
