How To Remove/Delete/Uninstall Family Link From Google Account
I want to delete my google family link account because the person I shared it with does not use his phone anymore and is using another service for communication.

The reason why you cannot remove your own family member is that parents are responsible for setting up their children’s devices and changing their settings on them; this is done in case if something happens to the device or if they are forgotten/lost in the device by the children. …

How to remove account from google family link
For those looking to do this, here is something to consider when removing your own account; By doing so, you will effectively block someone else from accessing their Parental Controls should they ever lose access to their device or forget about setting them up. This means if someone loses their device, they might not be able to change the PIN or Screen lock, and they might have trouble retrieving it should they ever get access to it back. ( Update October 17th of 2017: Google has since removed this support page, and no cached versions were found on the archive.org, so I suspect Google decided to remove this feature entirely )
Conclusion It appears as if there is an undocumented way of deleting your account from a family-linked Android device; You can do provide adequate warning that someone else is responsible for setting up the device by simply leaving the shared/family account in place and then removing yourself later.

Have you ever wanted a way for another user or app to know that they were communicating with you? If so, then this post is for you.

Likewise, when it comes to SignedData messages there are many cases where we might want our clients/friends to know exactly who they are communicating with. Client Authentication Protocol
Google supports a mechanism for clients to verify the identity of a user agent that requests authentication tokens from them. This is based on a combined Diffie-Hellman and RSA handshake, which proves to Google (and other relying parties) that the client and user share knowledge of some private values, without revealing anything about those values. Like OpenId connect, this adds additional security properties when you request access to someone’s API (such as requiring HTTPS/TLS when transmitting your credentials). The supported messages are: S256 EncryptedKey
