Robert Philip is a no-nonsense, forthright, and sometimes pessimistic divorce lawyer whose occupation and the divorce of his first wife has led him to adopt a rather melancholy outlook on life. Robert can sometimes be aloof toward the emotional output of other people and any departure from logic and sensible thinking. Nevertheless, he is not incapable of showing his love and loosening up. He is a well-meaning and providing father, hoping to bring his daughter Morgan up well.
