void contracts are contracts that technically don't exist mainly due to duress while an unenforceable contracts are contracts that can not be enforced
The main difference between a void contract and an illegal contract is that a void contract is no longer valid. It's lost its authenticity. An illegal contract is a contract that is not legal in the name of law. Therefore, it is not relevant.
A void agreement had a specific event, time and/or start that made the agreement void. You may write a check and it is given back to you with void written on it because of any reason you can think of. A illegal agreement is one that on it's face is not legal, such as you put a contract out on someones pet. That agreement would be illegal from the start so in effect there is no contract.
A void contract may have been valid at one time, whereas an illegal contract is never valid unless a law making the contract illegal is passed while the contract is still in effect. So, an illegal contract is void, but a void contract is not typically an illegal contract.
Contract is null and void

A valid contract is legally enforceable and meets all the essential elements required by law, such as mutual assent, consideration, capacity, legality, and proper form. On the other hand, a void contract is not legally binding from the beginning due to a fundamental flaw, such as illegality, lack of capacity, impossibility, or violation of public policy. A void contract is treated as if it never existed, while a valid contract creates legal obligations between the parties.
Yes, because a contract can be voided for reasons other than illegality.
In Georgia, a minor cannot sign a contract. If a minor does sign a contract, it is voidable because it is illegal.
In a normal situation, you will not be able to void the contract. If both parties agree, it can be voided. If the contract is illegal, or there was fraud involved, the court could void it as well.
