Backup under old appleid and restore to new device with new apple id.

I'm planning to buy a new iPad for my spouse. The old iPad was under my apple id. I will have a new apple id for my spouse and want to restore the old iPad backup to the new iPad with the new Apple id. Can I do that? Is there a specific 'what to do first, second, and third process to ensure success?

You can certainly do that. The best practice when changing Apple IDs is to reset the device. But, again, the apps, purchases, etc. on the iPad are connected to the current Apple ID. So, using a new ID will render that content unusable.
