Divorced iPad hassles

There does not seem to be a way for both parents to independently access child parental controls. And my iPad loves to create spontaneous photo montages of my marriage and remind me every day. Surely Apple could be hipper with divorcees

Privacy divorced and/or separated parents Privacy needs for step by step specific directions on how to set up a dependent’s device where there are divorced or separated parents. Even though we get along, am not keen on Dad knowing everywhere Mom (me) goes and reading her texts. For some this might be a safety issue. Fortunately it is not for me but someone else might have personal safety issues with this. He can see everywhere I go and read my texts. The banking apps are not on the iPad. I need to know the specific steps to go through in order to fix this, preferably written. Thanks if anyone knows how.

I and my daughter's mother are divorced. I purchased my daughter's iphone and set parental controls. I am ok adding my ex as an"adult" onto the phone but I don't want her changing my settings. What is benefit of adding her to the family unit? I have set up parental controls for my daughter's iphone. My ex would like to be added as an adult to the parental controls/family unit however (1) I don't want her to change my settings and (2) I'm unsure of what benefit there is in adding her since I don't want her to change settings anyway. Is there some purpose gained by having her as an adult member? I'm not opposed to it as long as possible to prevent her from changing my controls (Of note, if there IS a way to have her control/security options active when she has her and mine when I have her, that would be fine. I'm not opposed to her setting her preferences but don't want to get into a battle over this. thank you for your help!

Can another divorced parent override my parental controls? I have 50/50 custody. I purchased an iPhone for my 8yo daughter and put screentime controls on it with a passcode. I also added her as a child in my family sharing. My ex wants to override those controls which is against my wishes. Is it possible for him to update or override my controls and passcode?

Not sure about the first question. For the second part:

‘Memories’ are created from your images on your iPad, as recognized from significant people, places, and events in your library. Consider offloading images that you do not want to be reminded of every day.
