No, if the hearing was scheduled to be "ex parte," then by definition, the other party (the respondent) shouldn't be there. If the hearing was set to be ex parte and the respondent become aware of it, the respondent can certainly register his or her opposition by calling and/or mailing the court, but should not appear.
