I've looked at previous discussions and it seems the way to do this is to Sign Out of the iCloud (deleting the content from the phone/laptop) and go from there. My issue is I updated to the 9.3.5 iOS and then changed my Apple ID. So now it wants me to sign in to the old iCloud ID to validate me turning off Find My iPhone to even sign out of iCloud. I seem to be stuck 😟
OK, not sure what it is you are asking. Can you please tell us what specific issue you are running into? What wants you to sign into the old iCloud ID? Is it just asking for the passcode to that ID? If so, you need to supply it in order to turn off the Find My iPhone Activation Lock before you can complete the iCloud signout.
Did you change your Apple ID to a new email address, or did you set up a brand new Apple Account? If you just changed it, then use your current passcode to sign the old version of the ID out of iCloud. If you created a Apple account, then you will need the passcode for the old Apple account in order to sign out.

I swear I did this already and it didn't work. Now it did... As long as the constant pop ups of validating my address are gone, I'm happy. my old Apple ID still shows on the account but it does say I'm reachable at the correct e-mail.
Where does it show your old Apple ID? If you changed the email on the Apple Account by editing it to a new email, then all of your apps should have that updated ID signed in. Can you tell me where you are still seeing the old version?
