An ex parte communication is a communication that takes place outside of the formal hearing process. This can be in the form of a letter, email, or phone call. The purpose of an ex parte communication is to allow one party to present their side of the story without giving the other party an opportunity to respond.
If you receive an ex parte communication, it is important to take some time to consider what was said and how it might impact your case. You should also contact your attorney so they can advise you on how to proceed.
