How to petition court to release invalid mechanic's lien?

ColoradoMechanics Lien

In Colorado, contractor's work ended on my rental remodel in Nov or Dec 2020 (defect repairs in Dec), exited house last time on 08Jan21, fully paid, paid extra to get out. Contractor recorded Mechanics lien statement against house and myself on 31Mar21, for $51K, without any NOI service or affidavet and only 9 days after notarized, numerous errors on statement. I've had $5K in attorney bills to sort issue. House on lien sold, closed 28May21. Land Title ecrowed 1.5X lien amount from my proceeds, pending lien resolution to insure title. No action of any kind has been taken by contractor to cure or foreclose. The CRS 38-22-110 deadline of six months since work ended for action was 08Jul21, lien is invalid, not to mention spurious, in bad gfaith, excessive. Requests to contrctor to volntarily release with no response. Question, with no need to file suit to "show-cause" as lien is no longer valid, how do I simply petition court to dismiss/discharge lien so i can record a release, get my escrowed funds released from Title?
