Hi Hcoyman,
We understand that this is a child's account you're referring to, correct? Depending on how the account is set up, there would be different things to consider. Check out the information we've referenced below to learn more.
"If you have subscriptions like iCloud+, have an unpaid balance, or you use purchase sharing, you must keep at least one payment method on file.
- Do you have a subscription? You can cancel iCloud+ and cancel other subscriptions from Apple. When your subscription period is over, remove your payment method.
- If you're in a Family Sharing group and you use purchase sharing, the family organizer must have a payment method on file. If you're the family organizer, turn off purchase sharing, then remove the payment method.
- If you have an unpaid balance, you might not be able to remove a payment method. Instead, change your payment method.
- If you still can't remove a payment method, contact Apple Support."
