I believe, you mean ex parte court appearance. An ex parte court appearance is for an emergency situation. I'm not sure what the circumstances are that you are dealing with and it really doesn't matter. I would like to suggest that you contact the family law facilitator's office at the courthouse you are in and ask for their guidance. Each county courthouse in California has a family law facilitator's office and they will offer you guidance in this type of situation.

Good luck
