My ex is collecting child support from me for my son. I just found out that she also gets Social Security for my son from her live in boyfriend who passed away like 10 years ago. My son does have that guy's last name, but is it legal for her to do this?

Talk to your local Social Security Office and maybe even an attorney.
I would say you need an attorney - costly maybe but may save you money in the long run. - but maybe not. An attorney may/will be the only one that can get to the bottom of this type of situation.
Why does your son have the other man's name? Is it a legal change or just one they use? Did he adopt your son? Probably not a legal change since they were never married.
The Social Security office may be able to help you but I really doubt it. Do you have your son's social security number? Is it shown in your name or another? If the SS number was given at birth then it should still be in your name unless you and your wife made a legal change.
