In short: the person who moves out leaves the family under Settings → Family and continues in their own group. If it's the owner who moves out, ownership is transferred first. Children who should be part of both homes get their own login.
Before you start
The family you have today stays with its owner. The other adult always has their own group, which becomes their new home in Morgenrutine. If the new home should include the children, it needs Pro. Leaving, removing and transferring are done in the web app.
Who keeps what
- Stays with the family: routines, appointments, chores, allowance, notes, addresses and driving — including what the person moving out created.
- Follows the person: profile, school schedule and homework. A child's school schedule and homework show up in both homes.
- Stops: when an adult leaves the family, they're no longer assigned the family's routines.
The one who moves out
- Note what you want to reuse
Routines can't be moved between families. Write down which routines you want to keep so you can create them again.
- Leave the family
Go to Settings → Family, find yourself in the list and click the cross (Leave family). You keep your account and your own group.
- Set up your new home
Choose your own group under Active family, create your routines and add the children. Give the group a name, for example “At dad's”, by clicking the pencil.
The owner can also remove a parent from the family under Settings → Family. The result is the same.
When the owner moves out
The owner can't leave their own family — someone has to own it. If it's the owner who moves out and the family should stay with the other adult, ownership is transferred first:
- The other parent gets Pro
The new owner pays for the family from now on and needs their own Pro under Settings → Subscription.
- Transfer ownership
The owner goes to Settings → Family → Ownership, chooses the new owner and clicks Transfer. The former owner becomes a parent and automatically gets their own group.
- Leave the family
Now the former owner can leave the family as described above and cancel their own subscription if it's no longer needed.

The children
Children can be part of both homes when they have their own login with a verified email. Then each home has its own routines, appointments and allowance for the child, while the school schedule and homework are shared. Here's how: A child with two homes.
A child profile without an email can only belong to one family. If the child has no email, the new home can create a new child profile — then the two homes each have their own plan, but no shared school schedule or homework.
Subscription
Every home with several members needs Pro, and the home's owner is the one who pays. If a family loses Pro, the members are paused — nothing is deleted, and everything comes back when there's Pro again. See Manage your subscription.
Good advice
- Do it in the right order. Transfer ownership before the owner leaves, and give the children their own login before the new home invites them.
- Rename both families. Names like “At mum's” and “At dad's” make it easy for the children to see where they are.
- Go through shared routines. Routines assigned to the person who moved out may need to be given to someone else.
If it doesn't work
- Can't leave the family? If you're the owner, ownership has to be transferred first.
- Can't transfer ownership? The new owner has to be a parent in the family and have Pro.
- Can't the new home invite the child? The new home needs Pro, and the child needs a verified email.
