Re: moving out the country

You can legally move any time you desire. However, you would need to bring a motion in court seeking modification of the current custody order. Barring any passport or international issues, the court should allow you to continue to have joint custody. Whether you will be able to get a court order giving you primary custody while in Argentina is another issue. But even if you do not get primary custody, you should still be able to have the children in Argentina with you at least part of the year.
