The order will require Dad to surrender the children at a certain place and at a certain time. Technically, he is NOT required to surrender the children the next day, or the day after.
Call him and leave a message and ask him if you can pick them up late.
And go buy a wall calendar. Take it home and sit down with (1) it and (2) the court order, and mark down the times that you get the children.
