What is the relief that she has sought in the current proceedings? What are the petitions that she has has filed? What are the reliefs she has sought? What is the present status of those petitions?

As to maintenance, there cannot be a definite suggestion esp. since you have not posted all the material facts. However, the general principle is that the divorced wife is entitled until she is remarried. Children are entitled till they attain majority.

if she has filed the petition to set aside the exparte divorce after a gap of four years, then she should have filed a petition to condone the delay in approaching the court with the set aside petition.
First you will receive that notice, in that case it becomes your duty to strongly object to that and file a counter objection and get it dismissed, if not done then the court may allow her condone delay petition.
After that the set aside petition will be discussed, in that also you can object strongly.
If all the petitions have been allowed then you may have to proceed with the trial proceedings as per procedures of law.
If she has filed maintenance petition then you can challenge that also on the basis of her employment and the salary income.
You better discuss with your advocate and proceed as suggested
