Migrating my family members from my Apple ID to their own Apple ID

My wife and kids are all on my Apple ID but things are getting messy. I want to set up everyone with their own Apple ID accounts and then use Family Share, but I want to know if there are complications migrating their phones and data to the new Apple ID. Can anyone advise if there are any issues or links to best processes for this?

Keep in mind that children’s AppleIDs need to be created from an Adult’s device (the Family Organizer)


Once the child’s AppleID is created, then the chid’s device can be setup by the adult using the adult-created credentials.
