A: Ex parte orders are temporary pending a full hearing. When one side goes before the judge on some emergency petition, they can get a temporary order, which will be in place until a full hearing with both sides can be done. There is no way around the temporary order until the hearing is held, but there could be any number of defenses presented at the full hearing. You have a right to a reasonable continuance of the hearing in order to hire an attorney.
