FamilyWhere Is ruining my life!!

¡Hola!
First off, I'm so sorry about your situation, I can't imagine how frustrating that is. 😥 Unfortunately, FamilyWhere doesn't only use GPS, it uses a few different ways to track you, so GPS alone won't block your location. If the account holder insists on keeping the application on your device, having your location on will actually provide a more accurate reading if part of the problem is the results. This site here will give some insight - https://tfw.support.safely.com/hc/en-us/articles/204119066-My-locations-are-inaccurate-
That will yield more accurate results, however the only real way to stop the location tracking is to be the primary account holder and have it removed. 😥
I wish there was more we could do to assist.

I feel your pain, I too have a psycho husband who tracks my every move. Google play store has an app called Fake GPS location. In addition to that, under settings, go to connections, then location, and select Locating Method and change it to: device only. Directly below that is the Improve Accuracy option, make sure to open this and switch both options off.
Your second option and my personal favorite is to simply pop out your SIM card. If You happen to need the use of your phone while you have the SIM card out, you can connect to WiFi wherever you are or (I purchased a hotspot for my car that my husband does not know I have) and log on to T-mobile Digits Website. There you will regain total use of your messaging, calling, and voicemail features... all without being tracked by dear old hubby.
-Digits does require you to allow and grant location permissions but with the Fake GPS app in use, the location can be set by you to anywhere in the US. I use the Golden Gate Bridge as my default just to confuse him ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Payback for trying to track me in the first place...
Hope this helps
