Ending shared subscription while maintaining parental controls.

I have family sharing set up so that parental controls can be maintained on my daughter's iPhone, by both myself and my ex-wife. However, it appears that I am now sharing my Apple TV subscription with my ex-wife. How can I stop sharing it with her, while also maintaining the court-ordered access to parental controls?

You cannot. With Family Sharing enabled, subscriptions are automatically shared, and you cannot stop sharing them unless you end family sharing entirely or cancel the subscription.


Any particular reason you don't want this?

It's not costing you extra if that is what you think and your watch history and watch next list are entirely separate.
