Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

I am going thru a divorce. My wife has all of our and my information including my passport. She put an order of protection on me and changed the locks two years ago.She has taken care of all financial as I made the monies over the past thirty years. Her lawyer keeps asking for motions of discovery on financials and my response is, wife has them. Which is the truth, I know nothing about my investment accounts etc because she has always taken care of everything, Bill investment etc. her lawyer is stating my answers are incomplete, yet, I have nothing to give them. Will I get penalized for not having the asked documents? Will it effect the outcome of my divorce? Will it effect my trial by not counter filing motions of discovery on my wife and her spending habits, accounts, etc.

I have maintained I want to split everything 50/50 since the begging get of this divorce, three years ago. What should I be doing differently, if anything?
