If I hit a car parked in my driveway while backing out would the owner of the car submit a claim to my car insurance or my homeowners insurance since it took place on my property?

HI, Working in a car insurance company, you would claim off your car insurance as the vehicle was involved in the accident, however because it was on your own personal property you may be able to claim off your house insurance depending on the terms of your policy, you will find most homeowners insurance only covers the house itself and not the surrounding gardens

If your husband damages your car in the driveway of your home do you file a claim under your homeowners policy or the auto policy?
If you have an umbrella policy, that might cover it. If you have separate standard polices for home and auto, the auto insurance will cover it first. Deductibles might be picked up by the homeowners. Policies are hugely different, though. You need to consult your policies and call your agents. Recently, my father-in-law bashed my car with his while backing out of my driveway. My collision insurance covered the damage to my car. His covered the damage to his. My homeowners insurance did not cover my out-of-pocket expenses for the deductibles, but his liability insurance did. It's a little different in your case because the same policy covers both cars (I assume).
