Definition: (ex par-tay, but popularly, ex party) adj. Latin meaning "for one party," referring to motions, hearings or orders granted on the request of and for the benefit of one party only. This is an exception to the basic rule of court procedure that both parties must be present at any argument before a judge, and to the otherwise strict rule that an attorney may not notify a judge without previously notifying the opposition. Ex parte matters are usually temporary orders (like a restraining order or temporary custody) pending a formal hearing or an emergency request for a continuance. Most jurisdictions require at least a diligent attempt to contact the other party's lawyer of the time and place of any ex parte hearing. * The judge decides whether or not a hearing is held ex parte, not the individuals involved in the matter. As noted, it generally involvedsRO/PO's where the order is granted, without the alledged offender being present. The alledged offender must be notified that a TRO has been issued before the order is considered valid. It is not necessary to obtain an attorney to file a restraining order a no contact order or a protective order, all similar actions regulated by the laws of the state in which the complainant resides.

∙ 15y agoAnswer Absolutely, if you can afford one. It depends on what the issue is too. If you cannot affort a lawyer, sometimes you can find one that will do "pro bono" work which is free help for someone who is in need of a lawyer and cannot afford one. If you cannot get a lawyer and, depending on what the ex parte hearing is about, you will just have to be present and tell the court that you couldn't get a lawyer so it will be on record. You could also ask for time to obtain a lawyer and the court may or may not grant the extension of time. Good luck.
