If legal process is used to request this information, such as a subpoena, written interrogatories (or questions), a document production request, or you are asked it during a deposition or it is requested by the judge, then yes: you have to reveal it, because your assets are relevant to the property distribution and determination of spousal support (if any). Relevant information requested via legal process must be disclosed.
