"Ex parte" is literally translated as "from the party" and means that only one party participates in the hearing. An "ex parte" hearing is done with only the moving party and the judge. Ex parte hearings are only used in urgent situations and only result in temporary orders. Under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure an ex parte order can only last 10 days before it lapses, both parties must have prior notice and the right to be heard for a permanent order.
For example, if you're the father of a child and you find out that the mother is going to move out of the country with the child. You can get a temporary injunction forbidding the mother from taking the child for 10 days at an ex parte hearing. In order to keep it in effect for more than 10 days, there would have to be a hearing where both the mother, the father (and the child, if old enough) have notice and the right to present their cases.
The above answer is, for the most part, incorrect. In all cases (at least in California and in all Federal Courts), all non-moving parties must have notice of the hearing in advance. The amount of notice is different from county to county in California, but in most cases it requires at least 24 hours notice. In some cases this advance notice can be side-stepped. For example, if an exotic car dealer has absconded with a client's Ferrari and you find out where it is, but you also know that he is intending to take it out of the state, no notice would be required of an ex parte hearing to "attach" the Ferrari and prevent the dealer from removing it. The same would be true of a persons life was in danger or there was high potential for irreparable harm. The above answer is correct in one respect, that typically ex parte orders are only temporary and "notice and opportunity to be heard" is the fundamental rule.

One type of ex parte hearing is presided over by a judge at which all the parties are not present. The most common reason being a request for an emergency injunction of some sort. The most common of those requests are domestic matters such as requests for a temporary restraining orders or temporary custody. In the United States any orders issued at an ex parte hearing are temporary in nature so as not to deprive any party of due process. A full hearing on the matter will be scheduled where both parties are present. In this type of case no appeal is necessary since the order is temporary.Another type of ex-parte proceeding is a proceeding in the case where only one party participates or appears in Court although the other party was given notice. In order for this type of an ex-parte hearing to be valid, it must be shown that the non-participant has been provided with proper notice of the proceedings. In spite of proper notice, if the non-participant chooses not to appear and contest the action, then it will result in an ex-parte decree against them.A common claim in an appeal from an ex parte ruling is that the party didn't receive proper notice. In most jurisdictions that party can file an affidavit asking that the court vacate the order and grant a new trial. The time period for filing is brief and the affidavit must provide compelling evidence for the court to approve the request.
