Legal Question in Legal Ethics in Indiana

At a recent hearing regarding parenting time I was allowed to appear by phone as I live out of state. My ex and his attorney appeared in person. After the judge hung up the phone with me, my ex and his attorney were allowed to have a private conversation with the judge without anyone present to represent me or defend any statements made against me. Is this allowed? I feel like this is unfair and may constitute ex parte communication, however I am not familiar with procedures involving appearing by phone.

No, that would not be allowed for the case to be discussed without you participating. You need to hire an attorney .
