amicable split

Peaceful parting ways

An amicable split is a separation—of a couple, business partners, or collaborators—that happens without hostility or legal battles.

The phrase emphasizes mutual agreement and civility: After twenty years of marriage, they had an amicable split.

It often appears in celebrity news, sometimes skeptically, since public claims of friendliness may mask private acrimony.
