If you back into someone in a parking lot who is half pulled into their parking spot and clearly partly in the drive-way are they partially at fault?

No, you should look before you attempt to back out, or call the police & have them tow the other car if you cant get out. They would be responsible for $ owed to the tow yard that comes out, and/or possibly ticketed by the police. They wouldn't be responsible for damage you did to your own vehicle, and you are probably responsible for the damage that you did to theirs.
Most of us now carry a camera phone. A picture from all four angles of the vehicle "accident/crash" (not each vehicle) will also assist the claims department in your "due" settlement. Remember that the other driver's insurance company assigns claims to a 'human'. This person has the responsibility of reading the report and making sure the claim falls valid under their policy. Experienced in this department, when pictures where available they spoke louder than words. Plus all humans make mistakes. Reading 12 claims in a window of 5-8hrs can be overwhelming. Not to mention the follow up process and all the other humans envolved. Following up yourself and assiting in the process will make it go so much faster. You also have the right to be made aware of the carrier's insurance policy. Ask your insurance co. for settlement options that will not increase your premium. Everything is negotiable! You may need to give more down payment to your premium but it's worth the money you will keep every month and remember - what ever is left over after your down-stroke is financed and the more you finance the higher the interest paid.

You won't get a traffic ticket, but you can be cited for trespassing, and the property owner can have your car towed.

There's more to this question than meets the eye. To prevent anyone from entering your residence drive you may install a gate or fence (if allowed by local zoning ordnance) or post a 'no trespassing' sign at the edge of your property.If you are a business and maintain a driveway and/or parking lot for your customers, to keep non-customers from using it or parking there you should post a clearly visible sign warning against unauthorized usage.If 'your' driveway is also a legally permissible access (i.e.: right-of-way) to someone else's property, or you share a driveway with another party, you cannot prohibit their usage of it.

Yours since the car on the road has the right of way. You actually hit them since they were in the road when you pulled out.
Is it okay for someone to spend the night and park in front of the house on the street?
If the guest is expected and there are no parking restrictions in place it is appropriate for the guest's vehicle to be parked either in the driveway, or in a designated parking place in the street in front or close to the house. If there are parking restrictions in place, it is important to find legal, appropriate parking for their vehicle.
What are the laws on parking on a public street blocking driveway access in Cincinnati Ohio?
I have had cars towed for blocking my driveway. It is the city's responsibility to tow cars that are on a public road that block driveways. If someone blocks your driveway, don't call 911. Call your district police station and either they will put the call out or will direct you to the correct number. It may take up to two hours to get a tow truck to your place. However, if someone parks in your driveway, I think it's your responsibility to get someone to tow that car.
Can someone park across your driveway?
Yes it is not illegall for someone to park right across the street in front of your driveway
Is it illegal to park across the street from a driveway?
If you're parking in their property e.g.: Their own driveway, garage, or a designated area which is part of their property, then yes most likely it's trespassing when you park there. However, if you park at a street which is a public street, then the only restrictions that apply are those of the local government (the state, city, town .. etc). Someone doesn't have any legal support to ask someone to not park at a public parking because it's in front of there house. Out of courtesy, however, most people don't do it. But, again, it's totally legal and as long as it's public parking (street) you can park wherever you want following the rules of parking set by the government.
Who fault is it when someone is pulling out of the driveway and hits another car?
The person pulling out of the driveway is at fault.
Who is at fault when someone is backing out of a driveway and hits a car semi blocking that driveway?
The car that is moving is normally the one at fault. No matter how someone is positioned you should not drive into them (going forward or in reverse). It therefore seems to me that the car backing out of the driveway is at fault.
