I think it means "Two separated parents share the responsibility of taking care of the baby", but what is the context?

This is the lyrics of the song "Hawái" sung by Maluma and The weekend.
"So now he's your heaven
You're lying to yourself and him to make me jealous
You put on such an act when you're sleepin' together
All this 'cause I said I don't want marriage
I don't want marriage
I'd rather go half on a baby
'Cause at least I know that it's not temporary
And at least we'll share something that's real
I can tell that you're just tryna feel".

Yes, it means that she doesn't want marriage or commitment. She would prefer to have a baby with a guy and break up with the guy, then share responsibility of the baby. i.e. He looks after the baby half of the week, and she looks after it the other half of the week.
