What happens when a child who is linked to a family account turns 13? Do the parental controls disappear automatically?
What changes after my child turns 13 if I manage their account ?

This will vary depending on your region. However, Create an Apple ID [Create an Apple ID for your child - Apple Support ] for your child provides specific ages depending on country/region you're in when changes would take affect.
"Some Apple ID settings and features work differently for children under 13. For example, a child under 13 can't create an Apple ID without permission and consent from a parent or guardian. The minimum age for account creation may vary across countries and regions as follows: Under 14 in Austria, Bulgaria, China mainland, Cyprus, Israel, Italy, Lithuania, South Korea, and Spain. Under 15 in Czech Republic, France, Greece, Peru, and Slovenia. Under 16 in Brazil, Croatia, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Kosovo, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Netherlands, Philippines, Poland, Romania, Singapore, and Slovakia. Under 13 in all other countries and regions."
After the age listed for your region, your child would have the option to remove themself from your Family Sharing group. Leave Family Sharing covers more about this. Leave Family Sharing - Apple Support
Also, your child would have the option to set up an Apple Music Profile if they're subscribed. See what friends are listening to in Apple Music on your iPhone, iPad, or Android device has more details.

My understanding is that things would not change as regards to parental controls. Ask to Buy would also remain active until they turned 18.

Yes. The account controls would need to be reset.

What happens when a child on a family account turns 13? Are they kept in the family account that can be controlled by parents or are they automatically removed?
