Family on account

Your husband would have to sign into his account at account.microsoft.com/family and remove them from the family and if he wants them in his family he would need to add them as an adult

Now whether an account is considered an adult account or child account is based on two different things.

1. The date of birth on the account when it was originally setup.

2. Whether it is a child in a family. (even if the date of birth is above 18 and it is a child in a family it will be considered a child)

Now the account can be removed from the family as a child but if the date of birth when it was originally setup is still under 18 the account will be considered an orphaned account and would need to be added to a family as a child before it would be able
to do ANYTHING.

Delete account will game progress still be there

See here for instructions on how to remove a child account from your family: Remove a Family Member on Xbox One

Keep in mind that after the child account is removed, it will not be able to use Xbox Live until they are added to another family account.

Hey there!

If your account age is set under 18, then I'm afraid you'll need a parent account attached to it. Once you reach 18 you'll be able to promote your account to a parent account.

What you would need to do is sign in at account.microsoft.com/family with the account that is considered the parent for your account and remove your account from the family as a child account that would make it an adult account under its own family and allow
you to do things like custom gamer pics.

That will work only if when your account was setup the date of birth has reached its 18th birthday if it hasn't and you remove yourself from the family you will not be able to sign into your account till you are added either to another family as a child
or added back to the original one.

It sounds like your account has been added to the FAMILY as a child account.

The best thing to do would be to log into your Account on the website and check the FAMILY status.

https://account.microsoft.com/family/

A Child account is not controlled by age in the FAMILY, but if it has been added as a child or adult account.

If you can find another account that has been set up as an adult on that account you could leave and ask them to re-invite you as a adult into the Family.

Hi Sole_Z,

Thanks for your post! To have an adult account treated like a child account, simply add the adult account to a Microsoft Family as a child. The Microsoft family will then treat said account as a child. For more information on adding members to families check
out: Add members to your Microsoft Family.

I hope this information helps, thanks again!

I have the same problem. I'm a teen under the age of 18 and I can't leave my family. I would sign into the adult account of the family and change this except that the adult account who added me to the family is some random person called AlikeHarpy99271.
So that person basically has me trapped and I can't do anything about it.
