 \">\n\tA Friday (Oct. 10) spousal support petition says Sia has a hefty net worth, though the exact numbers are redacted from public view. Bernad claims he and the singer lived a \u201cluxurious and upper-class lifestyle,\u201d and that they spent more $400,000 a month on extravagances like private jet travel, fine dining and full-time staffers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cI request that the court order Sia to pay me temporary spousal support in the sum of $250,856 per month,\u201d writes Bernad. \u201cOrders are necessary at this time because I am financially dependent on Sia, the breadwinner in our marriage\u2026 Sia has the ability to pay me spousal support to maintain our financial status quo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tBernad, for his part, says he has almost nothing in his bank account and no income coming in. The 47-year-old was a radiation oncologist when he met Sia, but he claims she convinced him to stop working because she disliked his long hours at the hospital.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAccording to the court filing, Bernad officially gave up his oncology career when he and Sia opened up a ketamine clinic together in Los Angeles in 2021. He says Sia has now cut off funding for the clinic, and he\u2019s unable to go back to work at the hospital because his license has expired.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cI will need to complete several years of training and pass several rigorous exams before I can renew my certification and practice radiation oncology again,\u201d explains Bernad in the court filing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tIn addition to requesting nearly $251,000 in monthly spousal support, Bernad also asks in the filing that Sia contribute at least $500,000 for his legal fees during the divorce proceedings. Such funds would \u201clevel the playing field,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tSia\u2019s reps did not immediately return a request for comment on Friday (Oct. 10).<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/2HpFicp.png\" alt=\"Billboard VIP Pass\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/ubpass.co\/billboard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sia\u2019s estranged husband says he\u2019s owed more than $260,000 per month in spousal support amid his divorce from the pop singer-songwriter.
