Does the red hair color have to be in the father side for the child to have red hair if the mothers side has that hair gene color?

You've basically answered your own question here. No, the red hair gene needn't be on the fathers side, since the mother already has it. The chances become greater if dad has that gene for the child to have red hair, but if the mothers side has the gene, then there is a 1/4 chance it will have red. If dad has it, then more than likely the child will have red hair.
