Sia’s ex-husband, Erik Lang, has demanded $250,000 per month in spousal support following their recent divorce. The couple separated in December 2020 after two years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. Lang, a filmmaker, argued that during their relationship, he had given up his career to support Sia’s thriving music career, and now he is entitled to maintain the lifestyle he grew accustomed to during their marriage.
Sia, a renowned singer and songwriter known for hits like “Chandelier” and “Cheap Thrills,” has not publicly commented on the spousal support request. However, sources close to her suggest that she is taken aback by the amount demanded by Lang. Reportedly, the former couple did not sign a prenuptial agreement before getting married, which could complicate the division of assets and financial support negotiations.
The case is set to be heard in court next month, where a judge will decide on the validity of Lang’s request for $250,000 per month in spousal support. Observers note that such high-profile divorce cases often involve intense negotiations behind closed doors before reaching a settlement. Lang and Sia have not disclosed further details about the specific terms of the divorce settlement they are seeking.
Lang’s demand for significant spousal support has sparked discussion about the complexities of relationships between high-earning individuals and their partners, highlighting the financial implications of divorce for both parties involved.
