I had signed an agreement for a karate school for a child who technically I am NOT the legal guardian to. The contract states it must be signed by a "Parent/Legal Guardian". The school will not answer any of my questions and not provide the services they promised so I wanted out of this contract and a refund of my deposit. Is this contract void because I am not authorized to sign any documents on behalf of my daughters sister because I am not her parent/legal guardian?
No, there is a doctrine of law called "unclean hands" which means that you can't do something (like sign in a position you're not supposed to) and then complain about it later.Thank you for allowing me to assist you.

Thanks for the quick response. I do have a follow up to your response if you dont mind?
What if my actual daughter is also named in the contract? Basically the agreement says for example Sister #1 and Sister #2. I still should not be allowed to sign it on her behalf no?
You shouldn't have been allowed to sign it on behalf of the other child but you still can't claim to be able to get out of it because you did.Thank you for allowing me to assist you.
