This is the third time in two months she's kept the kids past the handoff time without asking. No call no text just didn't show up at 4pm. When I finally get ahold of her she says she forgot to switch days. How do I handle this without escalating things? I don't want to take her back to court but this is getting ridiculous. Advice?
That's frustrating and honestly disrespectful of the agreement. Three times in two months is a pattern, not a mistake. You might want to document these and talk to a lawyer about it.
I feel you. When my ex does stuff like that it's like she's testing the waters to see what she can get away with. You gotta enforce those boundaries or it'll keep happening.
Third time in two months? That's a pattern, not an accident. You need to address this now before it becomes the new normal. Have you put it in writing with her?
Keep records of every single time this happens. Dates, times, how late. This matters if it ever goes back to a judge. Don't let it slide.

That's really frustrating and disrespectful of the agreement you both made. She might think it's no big deal but consistency is everything for the kids. You gotta have a serious conversation about this.
