Overview
- Bernad filed in Los Angeles this week for sole legal and physical custody of their 19‑month‑old son, calling Sia an unfit parent, and Sia responded asking the court to deny his request.
- His filing alleges Sia concealed a two‑week Los Angeles hospitalization last month with positive tests for barbiturates and benzodiazepines and asks that her time be limited to three two‑hour supervised visits per week with random drug testing.
- Sia’s declaration says the child has remained safe in her care, affirms more than six months of sobriety within a program with weekly testing and a sober companion, and states she has repeatedly agreed to testing for both parents.
- She says Bernad’s visits have been professionally monitored since August after she was told LAPD and DCFS were looking into illicit material allegedly found on his hard drive, an inquiry both sides describe as inconclusive or closed; he denies wrongdoing and claims evidence was planted.
- Bernad seeks about $77,245 per month in child support and previously requested roughly $250,000 per month in spousal support, while Sia argues his filings are financially motivated; the court has not ruled on the new petitions and no criminal charges have been reported.
