Overview
- California Superior Court rejected Bernad’s emergency request filed this week, leaving the August 1 custody arrangement in place.
- Bernad’s filings allege recent substance use by Sia, including a two-week hospitalization and positive tests for barbiturates and benzodiazepines.
- Sia denies recent drug use, says she has been sober for more than six months with weekly testing and a sober companion, and has agreed to drug testing.
- Sia’s declaration references LAPD and DCFS inquiries into alleged illicit images tied to Bernad that were described as inconclusive or closed; Bernad denies involvement and claims evidence was planted.
- Bernad is seeking expanded custody plus about $77,245 per month in child support and large spousal support, asserting he is unemployed and financially dependent, as the case proceeds on the regular court calendar.
