As just stated, you have to disband the current family and set up a new Family group with you as the organizer. Here are articles outlining how to do all these things:

"If there are children under 13 years old, the new organizer needs to leave the existing family, set up the new family, and then the under 13 years old children can be transferred to the new family. Then disband the old family and join the new family."
