"It was always a temporary agreement that he live there until he gets back on his feet," the insider added.

Reportedly, Odom, 36, is spending a lot of time with his kids and has also been participating in programs, including counseling and professional support to stay on the right track.

The inside said, "He is doing well. He is determined to stay on the straight and narrow [path] and wants to be the best father he can possibly be and he is doing the work required to achieve that.
