Transferring apps

When transferring apps from old 6s to new 7, half of my apps won’t finish downloading because they are somehow attached to my son’s Apple ID, requiring his PW. How do I fix this issue? We do not use family share and none of my apps should be associated with his ID

If you are signed into your iTunes/App Store account using your Apple ID, the apps that you download will be yours, not his. Your Apple ID will be encoded into the DNA of the licensed copies that you download.
