Can you explain what “ex parte” means? My wife is going through a legal matter without her husband involved, and I’m wondering if this means she’s more likely to win or lose.

“Ex parte” refers to a legal proceeding where one party is absent or unrepresented. This doesn’t necessarily mean your wife is more likely to win or lose. The outcome depends on the specific legal matter and the evidence presented. It’s best to consult a lawyer for advice regarding your wife’s case.
