For any sort of dinner party or house party, only the hosts may make invitations. Since the parents of the ex-husband are hosting this dinner, they are the only ones who could invite anyone. (Exception, they could tell someone that they are welcome to invite a date/kids/friends along.)
Assuming the son that invited the ex-wife is a child, it is understandable that he might make this faux pas and not realize that it is rude to impose another guest onto the host and that it is an uncomfortable situation for all parties.
In this situation, having not received an invitation from the hosts, the ex-wife should explain to her son that she will be not be attending, as she is no longer married to the ex-husband.
If, however, the son is an adult, the ex-wife would be justified in assuming that she was properly invited, and therefore is perfectly correct in attending.
