There is no 'form'. You get to draft a pleading specifically for the purpose and then file and record it as appropriate. Go to the law library or on line to try to find the general format you'll need to start with for your particular set of facts. If it is you that recorded the lis pendens against someone, it isn't that difficult and you don't need consent of anyone else. If the lis pendens is against your property, you'll have to file an appropriate Motion in court and fight it out.
There is no specific state wide form. You would be wise to pay a couple hundred dollars to an attorney to review the matter and prepare and record for you. Leaving a lis pendens on a property can create future liability for you that you don't want.
