Family sharing and purchasing
I am in family sharing with my boyfriend, but I want to be able to use my own credit card to purchase apps or for in-app purchases. How can I do that?

Hello Alyssa_Lahm,
Thank you for contacting the Apple Support Community! We see you need to separate your In-App purchases from you Family Sharing account, it is important to purchase items using your preferred payment method.
When Share Purchases is turned on in the Family share account the main account is charged for all the purchases and will be billed for any purchases, you can turn off this feature so you can use your payment method for your Application purchases.
These articles have more helpful information for that matter:
