If she is filing an application for maintenance or alimony then both the parties will be required to file affidavit declaring their assets and liabilities.
In that case, you can deny giving maintenance to her as she is employed and drawing an equal salary income.

How did you know that she is employed and drawig a salary equally to that of yours?
You can collect the information through the same source and contest her maintenance claim before court especially if she furnishes false information in her affidavit for assets and liabilities.
There are various judgments by many high courts and even supreme court stating that the working women with handsome salary would not be eligible for maintenance amount from her spouse.
