My wife and I share an Apple account; what do we need to do for one of us to switch
What do I need to do to get my own Apple ID , different from my wife’s which we’ve been sharing?

See the data implications below.
Some of these things may apply even though not changing an Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID or password https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204071
Keep in mind that some things available under a first Apple ID will not be available under a new Apple ID. For example, you won’t be able to transfer anything purchased from the App and iTunes Stores to the new ID. And, there are other issues to be addressed.

But, despite any data loss you can set up family sharing between the IDs to share purchases made with them. See:
