Title: How can I leave a Microsoft Family group as a minor?
Question:
Hello, I am under 18 and I am a member of a Microsoft Family group. I only have access to my own Microsoft account, and I cannot access the family organizer's account.
Is there an official way for me to leave the family group or request help from Microsoft Support?
Thank you.

Hello,
Who is the organizer of your Microsoft Family Safety group?
According to Microsoft's Family Safety policy, only an organizer can add or remove members. Therefore, even if you are a member of the family group, only someone with the organizer role can remove your account. Since your account is recognized as a child account here, you definitely need access to an organizer's account to remove it from the family group.
So, the quickest way is to get in touch with the Organizer account and ask them to remove your account from the family safety group. Also, since your account is a child account, you will be asked for parental consent when accessing certain Microsoft services even if you are not a part of the family safety.
If the organizer account is not accessible, they will have to recover the account using the recovery form here:
