Good morning Bo1061!

I see that you have a question about Family Sharing, and I'll be happy to answer it for you.

Living in the same space is not a requirement for Family Sharing. Here's a list of the requirements:

Family Sharing requires a personal Apple ID signed in to iCloud. If your family has purchase sharing turned on, music, movies, TV shows, and books can be downloaded on up to 10 devices per account, five of which can be computers.

iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite or later are required to set up or join a Family Sharing group and are recommended for full functionality. Not all content is eligible to be shared. Content can be hidden by family members; hidden content is not available for download. Content downloaded from family members or acquired via redemption codes is not subject to Ask to Buy.

This information can be found here: Family Sharing

When you're ready to set up Family Sharing, you can follow these steps to get started:
Set up Family Sharing
Get an Apple Music Family subscription

Have a great rest of your day!
