My annulment was turned down by the Arch Diocese of Omaha. I was poorly represented.
There are serious problems with the Catholic Church considering my first marriage a sacramental marriage which was performed by the now bishop Cupich of the Arch Diocese of Chicago then my parish priest.
Where can I go and what can I do to be better prepare my annulment case to to be reevaluated? I would prefer to not make this a long drawn out spectacle if at all possible.

I have a friend who the only reason it was eventually granted is that it was never successfully recorded. She had met the criteria but she kept being denied over 5 years. I hope yours goes better.

You might consider speaking with a canon lawyer or an experienced advocate who can help you better present your case. Many dioceses offer tribunal advocates who guide you through the process. You can also request a second review through a different tribunal.

You can also request a second review through a different tribunal. This is very good advice. A good tribunal advocate will read your case and make suggestions about how to improve it, where your testimony might not be helpful to prove your case, etc. Sometimes, the appointed advocate is not very experienced or helpful. In those cases, I suggest calling a tribunal office in a different diocese and request a call with a canon lawyer.

Navigating church law sounds trickier than parallel parking! Ever feel like you're lost in a bureaucratic maze? Seeking expert advice seems crucial here, like having a map to buried treasure. When I fought a parking ticket, I felt equally powerless and needed a friend who knew the system to help me argue my case, it was a real Slope Game uphill battle.
