We have been divorced for 5 and half years, for the first 3 years we agreed on summer visitation. The papers say, He gets our children between no earlier than the day school is let out ot for summer vacation, and no later the day school resumes in august, for thirty days. He tells, well his "mama" says they get the kids all summer, and thats the way it should be, (she says)but anyway, i am so tired of thinking she can run me, which i dont let her. should i take them back to court?

It's not YOU that has the burden of filing with the court. It's HIM. If he wants to modify the judgment, he has to petition the court. If he goes out of bounds without formally modifying it, he's in contempt (then it's on you to serve him). Mama's opinion is irrelevant.
Of course, you could always try to be flexible, esp. where parents' relationships with kids are involved. Maybe there's something you'd like in exchange for an extra, say, two weeks? Quid pro quo to keep the peace? What do the kids want? Why dig in your heels just to make a point, when you can make everyone happy and maybe get something else you might want?

Stick with what is written in the divorce papers. If he violates that order, make a complaint. I wouldn't take them back to court until they violate the actual order (not just telling you they will). It will save you a lot of hassle and the court usually frowns on cases based on "they might do this". Not only that, but if he wants more time, then he needs to pay for the court costs to get it! Don't do it for him. As far as his "momma", tell her to put her nose back in place and keep it out of your way. It isn't up to her, it's between the PARENTS not the grandparents! Good luck!

Oh geez..another Mumma's boy.
No don't take them back to court, just let them know that they are breaching your original agreement and if they continue to bring your children back outside the agreed timeframes, then you're well within your rights to call the police to have them returned. Then take out a restraining order that will prevent them from having them ever again.
Your ex mother-in-law should mind her own busines!!

NO. why spend the money. Tell him to read the paperwork or call his atty. If he doesn't want to comply with the papers you don't have to let the kids go see him, speak to your atty. b/4 doing that.
Hope this help,
