I recently turned 18 and want to add my own card to my Apple account. My dad’s old card is still linked to the account, but I can't remove, edit, or replace it. He also doesn’t know how to fix this issue. How can I resolve this so I can add my own payment method?

You'll need to add your payment method first, then make it the default. payment method. The old card can then be removed.
