The o/p’s situation may well be different from mine . Mine warrants one . .
I agree with the advice given above - and make sure that she has absolutely nothing she can hold against you as you can be certain she will use anything she can, but sounds as though you are already doing this.
From experience I would advise seeing or picking up the kids on a neutral space.
This avoids conflict and agression.
Think long term you want to win the war not the battles so your behaviour infront of the kids should be controlled.
You wont be able to get non molestation order against your ex partner. If you attempted too it would make things even more hostile. your children wont be angry because you are late so don't worry. the best thing you can do is not react to any of her nonsense and engage in any arguments. if she swears and shouts at you best thing to do is blank her or reply in a calm way.
What I did notice is when you do a drop off on a sunday is if you can you should change this to drop off to school on a Monday if you can do it. What you need to do is minimise handovers with your ex partner
