Ok, so I got an email from *A's* CW saying she will need to submit an "Ex Parte" application closer to the big hearing at the end of the month so that if the judge needs to talk to the bios about it he can and assuming there are no major issues and the judge approves it (she says she's never seen one NOT be approved) then we will be given the signed Ex Parte to take and apply for the passport ourselves.
So my question.... What exactly is an Ex Parte?
