Ex Parte

The Divorce Dictionary is your plain-language guide to 400+ legal, financial, and emotional terms. Whether you're considering divorce or deep in the process, this compassionate glossary helps you feel informed, empowered, and supported—one term at a time. Ex parte means a legal action that happens without the other person present, usually because something urgent is happening. The court will review the case later with both sides.
