Your question is not so easy to answer without reading all the relevant documents. There is too much slipping room for something illegal or unenforceable to be in the agreement. Get an attorney.

Definitely get a written agreement, signed and notarized by both parties, before permitting the travel. If he fails to comply and return the children when he is supposed to, it can then be used as evidence in a subsequent court action to force return of the children. If you don't have one already, you should hire an attorney to assist you.
