Family Break-up, Children Split between households, How create the new household?

I must create membership records to reflect the following senario, a Family Break-up, Husband and his non-member spouse separate, children split between the two parents. How do I remove the children from the fathers household record who are living with the non-member spouse. Both 'families' continue to reside in the same ward. The bishop has directed me to make the oldest child living with the non-member spouse to be the head of household.

Let me add, I do not see a means in removing a member from the household other than moving a record out of the ward. My apologies for being obtuse in this.

I would think the easiest way would be to:
  1. Go to the Household Record for the current family.
  2. Remove the oldest child from the household; when you are asked what to do with that child, say to create a new household.
  3. Remove the remaining children who will be in that household, and specify that they are being moved to that household.
