As a parent who had visitation rights, and honored my teens' wishes not to come, it is a hard thing to have missed the regular times we could have had. As much as visitation interrupts your current life, the long term deal is that your parents are with you for a long time and that is the relationship to nurture and prioritize. Think about it.
Assuming that paternity has been established in both cases, the father would file a separate suit regarding each child, for his right to visitation in the civil court in the county in which each of the children reside.
Children who are at an age of understanding, and able to make informed decisions for themselves (to a point) can choose to reduce or stop visitation. If possible, the custodial parent can petition the court to modify the custody and visitation with the request of the teenager, and the Judge may want to ask the teen some questions regarding their choice.
In Florida, there is no specific age at which a child can unilaterally refuse visitation with a non-custodial parent. However, as children mature, their preferences may be taken into consideration by the court, particularly for older children, typically around age 13 and up. Ultimately, any changes to visitation arrangements should be made through a court order to ensure compliance with legal standards.

It's best to regard all statutes regarding grandparent visitation as unreliable until the Florida Legislature adopts new statutes. You have to seek lawyers advice on this one before you decide on a petition. You can read more about why it is this way in the link below.
you have no idea how many times these rules are reversed, father's paying and not getting to see the children. your concern should be for the best interest of the children. they deserve to have a relationship with their father. If the father is blatantly not seeing the children over a period of time, file a motion to modify the visitation schedule and a motion for contempt, for nonpayment of support. you see, this is not a moral question but a legal one.

In Florida, a child cannot unilaterally refuse a court-ordered visitation arrangement. However, if the child expresses a strong desire not to visit a parent, the court may consider their wishes, particularly if they are of sufficient age and maturity. Ultimately, any changes to visitation must be approved by the court. If there are concerns about the child's safety or well-being during visitation, those issues should be brought to the court's attention.
