Summer Possession of non-custodial parent

We have joint custody of our 2 kids and every summer my-ex (non-cust. parent verbally req. to have them beginning the last day of school for 30 consecutive days, but now since one of them has to attend summer school he wants to follow the divorce decree that states he needs to give me by April 1st & since he didn't he automatically gets them July 1-30 because it's too difficult for him to travel everyday to & from school. Are my hands tied?
