If by ex parte you mean a hearing where the other side fails to appear despite notice, then you must show that the other side was properly served with notice. You must then present evidence to prove that you are entitled to the relief you have requested.
Denial of the ex parte motion likely meant the Court was not convinced that the immediate grant of your request was necessary to protect the individual or the individual's rights. Don't forget the ex parte motion is one of the few times when the court system does not offer both parties a level playing field.
Temporary Ex Parte Protective Orders These orders generally last up to 20 days but can be extended by the court if necessary, mainly if the final hearing has not yet occurred. In cases where delays in the court process occur, or new threats emerge, the court may grant an extension of the ex parte order.

The term “ex parte” means "from one party” in Latin, which can describe any situation where a judge communicates with only one side (or one party's lawyer) in a legal matter. Ex parte hearings are only granted in extreme cases, as they contradict the fundamental right to due process guaranteed by the Constitution.
A Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) is when a judge orders a party to do or not do something for a specific period of time. Examples of a TRO include: Staying away from and/or having no contact with you, including neighbors, co-workers, friends, family, and landlords or tenants.
Ex parte means that the abuser does not have to be present or given notice of the hearing. This is a preliminary hearing where the judge can grant you a temporary restraining order for 10 days.
This standard means that the Court must see photographs, text messages, e-mails or any other physical evidence that can support claims made by the Petitioner. The court will not entertain a simple exchange of allegations. The petitioner must provide specific acts of harassment, threats or physical harm as evidence.
A significant change in circumstances, such as improved behavior, completion of anger management or counseling programs, or evidence that the risk of violence has diminished, may provide grounds for seeking the dismissal of a restraining order.
