Overview
- Dan Bernad filed on Oct. 27 for sole legal and physical custody of the couple’s 19-month-old son, seeking random drug testing for Sia, professionally monitored visits, and $77,245 per month in child support.
- Bernad alleges Sia secretly spent two weeks in a Los Angeles hospital and tested positive for barbiturates and benzodiazepines, asserting she is an unfit parent.
- Sia’s Oct. 28 declaration denies current substance use, states she has been fully sober for more than six months, and says she participates in weekly testing with a sober companion.
- Sia says Bernad was investigated by the LAPD and DCFS over alleged illicit child pornography tied to a hard drive, describes those probes as inconclusive and closed, and notes his visits have been restricted to supervised sessions; Bernad denies wrongdoing and claims evidence was planted.
- Bernad, who says he has no income after Sia stopped funding their joint venture, is also pursuing large spousal support previously pegged at more than $250,000 per month, with related family-court proceedings pending.
