how can i find out if my 16 year daughter got emancipated. she is now living with another family and wont live with me

If I understand your question, you moved to Orange County when your daughter was around 11, and you let her live with a family, and she now wants to become emancipated from you but wants the other parents to be her parents? First, if she becomes emancipated, she is considered an adult. She has to prove that she has a full time job and is capable of supporting herself. She would also have to provide you with notice of her request to the court for emancipation. Have you asked her if she has gone to court for this? That seems like the easiest answer. However, most courts have sites where you can search for cases by the name of the party.

This site should not be used as a substitute for competent legal advice from a licensed professional attorney that practices in the subject practice discipline and with whom you have an attorney client relationship along with all the privileges that relationship provides. The law changes frequently and varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

Asking her might be the easiest way to determine whether there is a court date considering it doesnt sound like you have been served with any court paperwork or you may want to call the court directly and talk to the clerk.
