Motion to set aside Defualt Judgment

I am preparing a motion to (see headline) and I am having trouble finding law to back it up. The client was served VIA Publication back in 2001, but it seems they really didnt try very hard to find the guy. A PI did one search on the internet and called it a day. The case is now Defualted and he owes a ton o money. Do you know of any law that can help me get the Motion to set aside granted? Thanks

The Motion should be brought under Rule 60 of the Nevada Rules of Civil Procedure, at the earliest possible opportunity.

Your attorney can explain further.
