In about last couple of decades, the inference of the violation of the Chandrasekhar mass-limit of white dwarfs from indirect observation is probably a revolutionary discovery in astronomy. Various researchers have already proposed different theories to explain this interesting phenomenon. However, such massive white dwarfs usually possess very little luminosity, and hence they, so far, cannot be detected directly by any observations. We have already proposed that the continuous gravitational wave may be one of the probes to detect them directly, and in the future, various space-based detectors such as LISA, DECIGO, and BBO, should be able to detect many of those white dwarfs (provided they behave like pulsars). In this paper, we address various timescales related to the emission of gravitational as well as dipole radiations. This exploration sets a timescale for the detectors to observe the massive white dwarfs.
