Sia’s Monthly Reality Check: Good Dads Get Jobs — $40k

Sia, the Australian pop star, has sparked another viral moment with a series of tweets about celebrity divorces. Following her separation from ex-partner Daniel Bernad, court documents indicate she is paying approximately $42,500 per month in child support.

Her four-word reaction? “Responsible fathers earn money”.

While Flash Conveyancing does not practise family law, we often see the downstream impact these large settlements have on the property market. High-net-worth individuals may need to liquidate property quickly to meet financial obligations, creating opportunities for buyers with ready cash to negotiate favourable terms.

  • By 2026, distressed sales arising from divorce may be one of the few ways to secure a bargain in Sydney.
  • If premium listings are moving unusually quickly, it may signal a “Good Dads Get Jobs” moment.
  • These sales often occur in high-demand suburbs such as Bella Vista, Kellyville Ridge and Schofields.

Court documents state that the monthly payment also covers private school fees, health insurance and extracurricular activities for their son, Somersault Wonder Bernad. Both parents share legal custody. Holiday arrangements include Sia having Mother’s Day, Easter and Christmas, while Daniel has Father’s Day and Halloween. The agreement also requires both parents to refrain from making negative comments about each other in the child’s presence.

Sia filed for divorce in March 2025, citing irreconcilable differences. Daniel reportedly sought temporary spousal maintenance of $250,856 per month to maintain his standard of living. Allegations were raised and denied, with Sia maintaining she is sober and acting responsibly as a parent.
