Details of the Alimony Request
According too court documents, Bernad claims he and Sia “never had to track their expenses” during their marriage. He asserts his financial dependence on Sia and states he requires meaningful financial support while he retrains and re-licenses as a medical professional. Bernad estimates this process will take several years.
He further alleges that Sia initially covered his expenses, including hotel accommodations until July 2025, but he subsequently moved to a rental property costing over $100,000. Bernad requested reimbursement for these costs, which Sia reportedly denied. Sia’s representatives have not yet issued a public comment on the matter.
