Overview

• Daniel Bernad filed a petition on Oct. 9 in Los Angeles County Superior Court seeking $250,856 per month plus $300,000 for attorneys and $200,000 for forensic accounting, according to court documents.
• Bernad, a former radiation oncologist, says he left medicine in 2021 to co‑found Modern Medicine and has had no salary since Sia ceased funding the venture in March 2025.
• He states his medical certification has lapsed and that returning to radiation oncology would require several years of retraining and exams.
• In his filing, he describes a “luxurious and upper‑class” marital lifestyle with monthly household costs over $400,000, and says Sia covered a hotel through July before he leased a home he claims she refused to reimburse.
• Sia filed for divorce in March 2025 seeking sole physical and legal custody and checked to terminate spousal support; no court ruling on Bernad’s request has been reported and her representatives have not commented.
