How can I change the family organizer from one parent to another?

We used an apple ID as family organizer that we now rarely use and would like to delete, but how do we change the family organizer to a different member of the family?

You need to disband the existing family using the steps in the article below. The new organizer can then set up the new family and invite the family members to join the new family. If there are children under 13 years old, the new organizer needs to leave the existing family, set up the new family, and then the under 13 years old children can be transferred to the new family. Then disband the old family and join the new family.
