A: While you may not have an attorney, you can and should certainly try to hire one to assist you with responding and representing you. In the meantime, additional information is needed to respond to your post as there are multiple ex-parte motions which have different ways/requirements for response----you need to review the ex parte and see if it provides a court date and make sure you get a lawyer be in court for your court date. Also, if you choose to do so, then you most likely can formally response in writing to the ex-parte. Again, without reviewing the ex-parte, it is difficult for us to respond to your post.
