We have been here for 2 years and the whole time he has been complaining. We live in a duplex and we live upstairs. Its me my husband and my 3 children. 12, 9, and 6.
we dont make any more noise than a regular family of our size would. He is threatening to have his lawyer help him get us out of here. Can he legally do this if we ocasionally use cuss words and he hears us?

I would check with the landlord on those issues and not go by what the neighbor downstairs is saying. If there are multiple calls made to the police about the going ons in your apartment then you might be going against the lease, but otherwise, I think he is just blowing smoke.

Only the landlord can evict you. The neighbor can only complain to the landlord and the police.
Does your neighbor work nights or have other irregular sleep patterns? It might just be that he is trying to sleep and the kids are playing too loudly. Obviously, try to work things out in a civilized way. If that fails, start looking for a new place either for you or for him.

NO! He would have to documment constant disruption to his peacefull living environment. Check your lease or rental agreement. I would start documment his harrassment of you and your family. Sounds like to me he is not happy that you have children and well if he is the one that is not happy then he should be the one moving. you are not doing anything wrong. Go to the fair housing department and get your tenant rights, this is nice to have. Read it know what your rights are.
Best of luck to you
