Windows 10: How can I remove my child from the family group I created?

How can I remove my child from the family group I created. I am the adult that granted consent for my child to join my family group, however I get an error message stating “You can't remove ‘Child’ from the family group Family members under statutory age need an adult's consent to join a family group. Only the adult that granted consent for ‘Child’ can remove this family member. Ask the family organizer who granted ‘Child’ consent to remove ‘Child’ from the family group."

Unable to remove child account from Family

I am the family organizer & there is just one member in the family besides me i.e. my child. I am unable to remove my child's (age: 11) account from family. It gives below error (after step 3).

You can't remove Ami from the family. Family members under statutory age need an adult's consent to join a family group. Only the adult that granted consent for Ami can remove this family member. Ask the family organizer who granted Ami consent to remove Ami from the family group.


Steps followed:

1. Log into Microsoft Family Safety
   
2. Select 3 dots on the top right of child's card & select "Remove from family group"
   
3. A dialog appears for final confirmation. Select Remove.
   

If I am the family organizer why can't I remove it?

Why does it say "Only the adult that granted consent for Ami can remove this family member"? Who else other than me granted consent? How can I find it out?

How can I remove my child's account from family?

My child cannot remove herself from the family group as well. She logged into Microsoft Family Safety but doesn't see the option to exit the group. Actually, I want her to join a different family group but it's not allowed since she is already a member of a current family group. Until she leaves her current family group she can't join a new one.

 

Can't remove child from Family group

Hi again Elise,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I’ve tried your suggestion of adding my wife to the group, but unfortunately we now have an extra layer of complication: she has tried to work around me not being able to remove a child from the group by creating her own group, so she is now unable to join my group.

Just to be clear, though, I’m fairly sure my wife was not a member of the original group to begin with.

If there a way I can simply remove the whole family group?

Regards,

David.
