In this paper we introduce a variational problem for spacelike hypersurface
s in Lorentzian space forms whose critical points turn out to be constant m
ean curvature spacelike hypersurfaces which intersect a given support hyper
surface at a constant hyperbolic angle. For the two-dimensional case, when
the support surface is totally umbilical we prove that only such surfaces a
re totally umbilical too.
