                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

REOPENING SAME WHEN MADE ON SERVICE BY PUBLICATION (§ 8.01-641)

But if service is made by publication, the defendant against whom the judgment
is rendered may file a motion within thirty days from the rendition of judgment
to have such judgment set aside, upon giving bond with good security as
prescribed by the court, with condition to pay all such costs as shall be
awarded in the cause against the defendant. The defendant may then make such
defense to the petition as he might have made, and in the same manner, before
the judgment was rendered.
