Q: Change AppleID of primary account for Family Plan?

My appleID is the primary account for our family plan, but i need to switch it over to my wife because she has a bunch of Itunes credits that we want to use to pay for the subscription. 

 

How do I do this?

    You don't.

     

    You as the Organizer would need to leave the Family Sharing group thus removing everyone from it, and Create a new one with your wife's Apple ID. Then add everybody to that Family group.

     

    However:

    When you turn off Family Sharing, you leave the family. After you leave a family, you can join or set up a new one. However you can only switch to a different family group once per year.
