  2. If there are children under 13* in your family group, you must transfer them to another family before you can disband husband as family organiser
  3. Ask your husband to disband the family group by turning off Family Sharing, it will remove all family members from the family group at once.

One adult in the family—the family organizer—can set up Family Sharing for the group from their iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac. If you turn on purchase sharing, you'll be asked to confirm that you agree to pay for purchases initiated by the family members you invite and that you have a valid payment method on file. Valid payment methods for setting up Family Sharing include credit cards and debit cards.* 

    1. Go to Settings > [your name]. If you're using iOS 10.2 or earlier, go to Settings > iCloud.
    2. Tap Set Up Family Sharing, then tap Get Started. Follow the onscreen instructions to set up your family and invite your family members.
    3. If you’re using iOS 11 or later, choose the first feature you’d like to share with your family. Then follow the instructions to invite your family members using iMessage.
