Rule 1.1011. Retrial after published notice

1.1011(1) Retrial. Except in actions for dissolution of marriage and annulment of marriage, if judgment is entered against a defendant who did not appear and was served only by publication or by publication and mailing, as provided in rule 1.311, the defendant may apply for retrial within six months after entry of judgment, and on giving security for costs is then entitled to a defense and trial as though there was no judgment.

1.1011(2) New judgment. After such retrial, the court may confirm the judgment, modify or set it aside and order a party to restore any money or property remaining in the party’s possession under it, or to repay the value of any money or property the party thus received.
