amicably

In friendly fashion

Amicably means in a friendly, peaceable manner—without hostility or ill will.

The word typically describes how disputes end or relationships dissolve: They parted amicably after fifteen years of marriage.

An amicable settlement avoids the acrimony of litigation.

The emphasis is on mutual goodwill rather than mere absence of conflict.
