It depends on a lot. If you want to be safe, and generally more polite, just use usted. In my experience if someone wants to be refered to as tú, they will tell you, and be flattered anyways because you called them usted.

You would ask:
¿Tu familia está bien? Your family is doing well? (to a friend you use the "tú" form of speech)
¿Su familia está bien? Your family is doing well? (to a stranger, boss, or elder you use the "usted" form of speech)
