What is the meaning of ex parte evidence?

The judge has issued ex parte evidence in my divorce case. I've filed for divorce against my wife citing cruelty. Could you please explain what ex parte evidence means in this context?

Ex parte evidence is testimony or documents presented to a court by one party without the other party's knowledge or presence. While generally not allowed, it is permitted in urgent situations such as domestic violence, emergency child custody cases, or to prevent the hiding of assets. The court may issue a temporary order based on this evidence, but a full hearing with both parties is scheduled later. Ex parte proceedings are an exception to due process, and if the absent party was not properly notified, they can challenge the order. This differs from inter partes proceedings, where all parties are present.

Experte evidence is the state when you only have to present and explain your evidence and other won’t be given any opportunity for the same. You have to submit the evidence and witness in writing thereafter put up before the court

Ex patre divorce is given by court when the other patty do not apear in the court after getting court summons or its publication. This decision court gives when it feel satisfied with the allegations written by the first party against other party who is not appearing in the court other wise not. There are many incidences where the court could not satisfy itself with the cause of actions raised by the Petitioner. Court first allowes for the presentation of petitioner's evidence and when petitioner produces and appear its evidences through documents photos or by witnesses of the fact concerned, court evaluate these all on legal grounds under Laws of evidence and then pronounce its judgment on its basis. There are 50-50 chances in decision of court So it is very important to satisfy the court at this stage.
