If my ex-wife receives disability benefits for our minor son, and I get (have) legal custody, does she have to forward those payments to me? She pays me no support.

If you have legal custody I don't know how she is receiving the payments. Don't waste time, get appointments with your local Social security Office and your local Office of Child Support Enforcement. All areas have both of these offices, it might not be in the town where you live, but they will be reasonably close.
The check needs to be sent to the person the court designated as legal custody or as the law would say, more than half the care of the child allows you the tax credit. Maybe did not think of that either.
