Move Child to own account

Hey there mgsi2004,

His account should automatically be promoted to an adult account as soon as he reaches the age of majority in the country you reside in. This should separate his account from any family accounts, but it sounds like there could be something else going on
as well. Does everyone in the house share the same Gamertag, or does everyone have a separate one?

I have multiple accounts on my console. Able to split screen and play MW3 with another. The Family pack allows the parent to control the child account. The parent can use custom settings to allow a minor child to play mature games but not view any
mature video. Don't know about music. Not until the child's birthdate allows them access by becoming an adult. The family pack has one parent account and three child accounts. The child accounts can be used for adult or minor children, spouse, etc. and must
be placed on one console. From there they can be moved tag and license to another console pretty much anywhere the family pack is available. Like when the child moves away he or she can take their account with them on their own console. The problem with the
child account is adding ms points via marketplace need to be purchased from the parent account and an allowance given to a child account. Some issues with Netflix and some other things I can't remember right now. At that point you can remove the child from
the family account and they can just pay for there own account and not lose their tag, license, achievement score etc.

There is two things that determines if an account is a child account

1. DOB when the account was originally setup.

2. If the account is in a Family as a child account.

Now if the DOB when the account was originally setup is under 18 by law it is required to be in a family as a child account.

Although an adult account can also be in a family as a child account and be considered as having a child account.

It does not automatically move over to an adult account once the DOB hits its 18th birthday.

Once it hits its 18th birthday you would have to sign into account.microsoft.com/family and remove yourself from the family at which point you will be put into your own family as an adult.

They would each need their own accounts in order to be able to sign in at the same time. If they have been playing on the same account until now, it would not be possible to move any progress to a new account.

Would a family account help remedy this? Would a family account make it possible to by the game once, then allow each child to play the game or does Microsoft for you into buying a game for each child?

You will need to set up your child with their own Microsoft/Xbox account. It will save tears at a later date, when they find out they can't move their saved game data.
