Some fundamental “Rules” about Families:


At any point in time.


  • Every family must have an Organizer.
  • A family may only have one Organizer.
  • Any individual may only be in one family.


Additionally, any individual can “change families” only once per year.


Based on these fundamental rules, any inter-family moves can be planned.


To move a child, the child must be invited from one of the “gaining” organizer’s devices EXACTLY as described in article below: (Read VERY carefully)
