Apple "child" accounts (under 13)cannot be removed from Family Sharing; though I guess you could be 80 years old and this is your 60 year old offspring. ;-) Anyway, a true child account can only be transferred to another family group or the account has to be deleted altogether. How to transfer a child to another Family Sharing group - Apple Support

For help with an invalid/not-active/not-supported account you need to contact Apple (the people on this board are users like yourself).

To reach Apple Support for an account issue:

1. Click here --> https://getsupport.apple.com/?caller=cups&PGF=PGF63005

2. Select: Disabled Apple ID

3. Select: ”The Apple ID is not active" alert

4. Select: “Continue”

5. Select a chat or telephone call option.

or:

Contact Apple for support and service by telephone --> Contact Apple Support - Apple Support
